A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with crisp, squared-off terminals and a distinctly angular build. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and many joins are cut with sharp chamfered corners that create a faceted, machined look. The slab serifs are broad and blunt, often reading as integrated “feet” rather than delicate brackets, giving the letterforms a compact, punchy silhouette. Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall spacing feels sturdy and intentional, maintaining strong color in both display lines and all-caps settings.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as sports and esports identities, event posters, badges, and headline typography where a dense, forceful texture is an advantage. It can also support packaging and apparel graphics that benefit from a rugged, athletic voice, especially in short phrases or all-caps settings.
The tone is bold and competitive, evoking sports branding, motorsport graphics, and vintage advertising with a hard-edged, no-nonsense attitude. Its angled stance and squared detailing add speed and impact, while the chunky slabs contribute a workmanlike, durable character.
Likely drawn to deliver a fast, powerful italicized slab style that stays legible at a glance while projecting strength and motion. The squared serifs and chamfered geometry suggest an intention to feel engineered and sporty rather than refined or traditional.
The design leans on consistent chamfers and flat cuts at corners and terminals, producing a rhythmic sequence of angled notches across words. Numerals and capitals carry a particularly strong poster presence, with shapes that prioritize clear silhouette over open interior space.
