A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are largely monolinear, with chunky rectangular serifs and flat terminals that create a strongly squared-off silhouette. Many joins show subtle notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins, helping tight corners stay open at weight. The overall rhythm is dense and assertive, with consistent, squared curves on rounds and robust numerals that match the letterforms’ mass and stance.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports-related branding, and bold packaging. It can also work well for signage and display copy where a strong, condensed block of text is desirable; for extended reading, generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, retro-leaning presence that feels built for impact. Its blocky slabs and aggressive italic angle project motion and confidence, reading as tough, workmanlike, and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
This design appears intended as a high-impact display slab: wide, forceful shapes paired with an italic slant to convey speed and immediacy. The squared terminals, heavy serifs, and corner cut-ins suggest a focus on durability, legibility at bold weights, and a distinctive, athletic-industrial flavor.
In the sample text, the weight and slant create strong horizontal momentum, while the squared serifs and tight spacing tendencies emphasize a compact, poster-like texture. The distinctive corner cut-ins add character and improve definition where strokes meet, especially in bold joins and tight counters.
