A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with sharply cut, angular forms and mostly flat terminals. Strokes are chunky and consistent, with squared-off corners and small notch-like cuts that create a faceted, machined silhouette. The proportions feel compact with firm shoulders and short, sturdy arms, giving the letterforms a tight, punchy rhythm. Counters are relatively small and polygonal, and the overall drawing favors straight segments and crisp diagonals over curves.
Best suited to display use where strong texture and distinctive silhouettes matter most—headlines, posters, sports and team-oriented branding, event promotions, and bold packaging or label applications. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where the dense shapes and small counters remain clear at moderate sizes.
The font projects a forceful, energetic tone with a competitive, sport-oriented edge. Its hard angles and carved details suggest speed and toughness while keeping a distinctly retro, poster-like attitude. The overall feel is bold and no-nonsense, suited to messaging that needs to sound confident and high-impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold weight, a forward slant, and engineered slab details that read quickly and feel athletic. The faceted cuts and squared terminals help it stand out in branding contexts while maintaining a consistent, unified texture across letters and numbers.
The italic slant is pronounced and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping the design read as dynamic even in all-caps settings. Numerals follow the same blocky, cut-corner logic, reinforcing a cohesive, emblematic look in mixed alphanumeric lines.
