A heavy, slanted slab-serif design with compact, angular construction and distinctly chamfered corners. Strokes terminate in blocky slabs and squared-off ends, with a faceted, slightly beveled feel that makes many curves read as octagonal forms (notably in C, O, and Q). The rhythm is tight and punchy, with sturdy verticals, short joins, and a consistent forward italic angle that gives the set momentum. Lowercase forms stay robust and simplified, with single-storey a and g, and numerals echo the same cut, geometric treatment.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a forceful, angled voice is desirable. It also fits sports branding, event materials, rugged packaging, and signage that benefits from bold, high-impact letterforms with a retro industrial edge.
The overall tone is energetic and tough, projecting a competitive, workwear confidence. Its angled stance and hard-edged detailing evoke vintage athletic lettering and rugged signage, giving it a distinctly retro-but-functional personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy italic slab voice with maximum punch and instant recognizability, using chamfered geometry and blocky terminals to create a strong, athletic-signage aesthetic.
The faceted shaping creates strong silhouette recognition at display sizes, while the dense interior counters and squared terminals can feel compact in longer text. The font’s visual identity is driven more by its cut corners and slabby endpoints than by stroke contrast, producing a crisp, machined look.
