A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with dense, block-like letterforms and compact internal counters. Strokes terminate in firm, squared slabs with minimal rounding, creating a chiseled, poster-ready texture. The italic slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, with a slightly condensed, forward-driven rhythm and sturdy crossbars that stay visually anchored. Numerals match the alphabet’s weight and stance, maintaining a uniform, high-ink silhouette suited to large-scale setting.
This face is best used for attention-grabbing display work—headlines, posters, sports-themed branding, and bold logo wordmarks. It also fits packaging and labels where a sturdy, retro-industrial voice is desired and text can be set large enough to preserve interior detail.
The overall tone feels forceful and energetic, with a sporty, vintage display flavor. Its bold, slanted construction reads as confident and assertive, evoking classic signage and team-mark typography rather than delicate editorial nuance.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and forward motion through a consistent italic stance and thick, squared slab terminals. The intent is a tough, high-energy display style that remains structured and legible in bold, short-form typography.
The design relies on strong silhouettes and abrupt, square-ended detailing, which helps characters hold together in short words and punchy phrases. The tight counters and heavy slabs can reduce clarity at small sizes, but they amplify presence and texture at display sizes.
