A condensed slab-serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Serifs are square and unbracketed, reading as crisp rectangular terminals that reinforce a sturdy, block-built silhouette. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, while the overall rhythm stays punchy and vertical despite the oblique angle. The lowercase shows a tall x-height relative to ascenders, supporting dense set copy with a strong, uniform texture.
Best suited to high-impact display use such as posters, headlines, sports branding, packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for short subheads or labels where space is tight and a strong, condensed voice is needed.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with an industrial, sports-minded feel. Its slanted stance adds urgency and motion, while the squared slabs and compact shapes project toughness and practicality.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in narrow widths: a compact, slanted slab-serif built for emphasis, quick recognition, and a rugged, utilitarian presence in display typography.
The heavy weight and narrow set produce a dark typographic color, especially in longer lines, with short, squared joins and terminals that keep edges looking sharp. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compressed, blocky character, giving headings a cohesive, billboard-like impact.
