A heavy, oblique slab-serif design with compact, squared forms and a strong rightward slant. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with flat, block-like serifs and terminals that read as cut or stamped rather than calligraphic. Counters are tight and apertures stay relatively closed, reinforcing a dense texture in text. Curves are kept blunt and geometric, and joins tend to feel sturdy and engineered, producing a steady, muscular rhythm across mixed case and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where impact and immediacy are priorities—sports identities, promotional graphics, posters, bold editorial headlines, and packaging callouts. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough and given extra spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, no-nonsense voice. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs evoke motion and urgency, while the squared geometry adds a utilitarian, industrial edge. The result feels confident and attention-seeking rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sturdy slab-serif skeleton and an italicized, forward-leaning posture. Its squared terminals and dense proportions suggest a goal of looking tough, fast, and highly legible at large sizes in branding and advertising contexts.
In longer lines, the weight and tight internal space create a dark typographic color, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used in paragraphs. Numerals match the same blocky construction and read best at display sizes where their compact shapes have room to breathe.
