A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with compact proportions and a strong, graphic rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform, with crisp joins and square-ended, block-like serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, giving the letters a dense, print-forward texture. The lowercase shows sturdy, upright stems with pronounced slabs, while figures are weighty and structured to match the overall mass.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and bold callouts where the dense color and slab structure can do the work. It also fits athletic or workwear-style branding and packaging that benefits from a tough, energetic voice.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, combining a no-nonsense industrial sturdiness with the forward motion of an italic. It evokes classic sports and headline typography—confident, slightly retro, and built to grab attention.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, pairing sturdy slab construction with an italic stance for urgency and momentum. Its dense, uniform weight and squared terminals aim for clear recognition and strong presence in display settings.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the heavy slab terminals create strong horizontal accents throughout words. The texture in paragraphs is dark and continuous, favoring impact over airiness.
