A heavy, oblique slab-serif with blocky construction and flat, square-ended serifs that read as sturdy wedges at the baseline and cap line. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight interior counters and a compact, punchy silhouette; curves are rounded but contained, keeping overall forms firm and rectangular. The italic slant is consistent and creates a forward-leaning rhythm, while the numerals and capitals maintain a strong, poster-like presence with blunt terminals and robust joins.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports and team marks, posters, bold packaging callouts, and signage where the heavy slabs and oblique momentum can carry. It can work for brief blurbs or subheads when generous spacing and size are used to prevent the texture from becoming too dense.
The typeface conveys a bold, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly athletic and workmanlike character. Its forward slant adds motion and urgency, giving it a confident, competitive feel that leans retro and Americana in spirit without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum weight and clarity with a decisive, squared-off slab-serif language, using an italic slant to inject speed and emphasis. It prioritizes a rugged, attention-grabbing texture that stays coherent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
At text sizes the dark color and tight counters create a dense texture, favoring impact over airiness. The uppercase has a strong headline cadence, while the lowercase retains the same chunky, slab-driven logic, keeping the overall voice consistent across letters and numerals.
