A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad, square-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are compact and forceful, with rounded outer curves on bowls and counters contrasted by blunt, flat terminals. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the texture a strong forward rhythm without introducing calligraphic contrast. Numerals and uppercase forms feel sturdy and poster-ready, while the lowercase keeps a tight, readable structure with simplified shapes and firm, rectangular feet.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings like sports identities, event posters, merchandise, labels, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It also works effectively for punchy subheads and callouts, particularly when you want an energetic, vintage-leaning slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a classic sports-and-workwear feel. Its combination of bold massing and mechanical slabs reads as straightforward, tough, and a bit nostalgic—built to project confidence and momentum.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif structure, pairing a forward-leaning italic stance with blunt, square terminals for an athletic, industrial headline look. The aim appears to be strong legibility at display sizes with a distinctive, no-nonsense texture.
The spacing and silhouettes create a strong, even typographic color, especially in all-caps lines. Square serifs and flattened stroke endings emphasize a utilitarian, engineered personality, while the oblique angle adds urgency and movement in longer phrases.
