A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a sturdy, block-driven construction. Serifs are broad and squared with slight bracketing, creating strong horizontal anchors on stems and a firm baseline presence. Stroke modulation is minimal, so counters and joins do most of the shaping; several glyphs show tight apertures and reinforced corners that read as purposeful, almost ink-trap-like notches. The rhythm is energetic and slightly compressed, with robust numerals and capitals that hold their weight consistently across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of text where its dense, emphatic texture can work as a feature. It fits sports and event branding, punchy packaging labels, and logo wordmarks that need a durable, energetic voice.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a sporty, headline-ready urgency. Its italic slant and thick slabs suggest motion and impact, while the squared detailing adds a workmanlike, no-nonsense character with a hint of vintage printing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact, slanted slab-serif form—combining strong, square serifs with tight counters to produce a bold, fast-looking display texture that remains coherent across letters and numerals.
The bold slabs and tight internal spaces make the texture dense in paragraph settings, especially where rounded letters meet heavy joins. The numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, supporting strong callouts and data-forward typography.
