A heavy, oblique slab serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely monolinear, with thick, square-ended slabs and flattened terminals that read as cut, engineered shapes. Corners are subtly rounded and some joins show small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins, helping keep interior spaces open at display sizes. The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with short, sturdy ascenders/descenders and simple, geometric curves in bowls and rounds.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or team-style branding, packaging callouts, and bold logotypes. It can also work for large-format captions or section headers where a dense, attention-grabbing voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a distinctly sporty, headline-ready presence. Its forward slant and chunky slabs give it a sense of motion and impact, while the clean, squared finishing keeps it feeling modern rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, slanted silhouette and sturdy slab detailing, combining a retro athletic flavor with clean, contemporary finishing. Its simplified, low-detail construction suggests an emphasis on clarity and punch in large sizes.
The uppercase forms feel particularly compact and muscular, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a sturdy, utilitarian texture in word shapes. Numerals match the same blocky, oblique construction, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like display character.
