A heavy, right-slanted slab-serif display face with chunky, squared terminals and wedge-like slab feet. Letterforms are broad and tightly built, with rounded corners softening the otherwise angular geometry. Counters are small and apertures are relatively closed, producing a dense, high-impact texture. The rhythm leans toward headline use: stout stems, sturdy crossbars, and slightly varied widths across glyphs create a dynamic, forward-driving silhouette.
Best suited for short-form typography where impact matters—sports identities, team apparel graphics, event posters, promotional headlines, and bold packaging callouts. It can work in subheads or brief statements, but its dense forms and tight counters favor larger sizes over extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and competitive, with a classic athletic and mid-century advertising flavor. Its strong slant and thick slabs communicate speed and emphasis, reading as confident and attention-grabbing rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver an unapologetically strong, forward-leaning display voice, combining sturdy slab-serif structure with a fast, italic stance for immediate emphasis and high visibility.
Uppercase forms feel especially poster-like, while the lowercase maintains the same muscular construction for consistent color in mixed-case settings. Numerals are similarly hefty and compact, matching the font’s blocky, sign-paint-inspired presence.
