A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad, monoline strokes and squared terminals. Serifs are chunky and rectangular, giving the letterforms a sturdy, stamped look, while corners are slightly rounded to keep dense shapes from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively tight and the overall drawing favors compact, angular construction, with a noticeable forward slant and a lively, uneven rhythm across widths. Numerals match the same robust, blocky structure and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short display lines where its bold slabs and slanted momentum can carry the message. It works well for sports branding, event posters, product packaging, and signage that needs a tough, high-impact voice. In smaller sizes or longer text blocks, generous tracking and line spacing will help preserve clarity.
The tone is assertive and energetic, with a strong, athletic feel. Its bold slabs and forward lean suggest speed and impact, while the chunky construction adds a workmanlike, rugged character that reads as vintage signage or team identity rather than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-driving, athletic voice, combining sturdy slab details with a compact, oblique structure for attention-grabbing display typography.
The oblique stance and tight interior spaces create strong word shapes but can build visual density in long passages. The design’s squared, slabby detailing emphasizes horizontals and bases, producing a grounded silhouette that holds up well in high-contrast applications such as black-on-white branding.
