A heavy, oblique slab serif with wide proportions and compact counters. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick verticals paired with flared, slab-like terminals and bracketed joins that create a carved, punchy silhouette. The letterforms emphasize horizontal mass—broad arms, chunky feet, and deep notches that read almost like cut-ins at key joints—while the overall rhythm stays even and tightly packed. Lowercase presents a tall x-height and sturdy, rounded bowls, keeping the texture dense and highly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display typography where weight, width, and slant can do the work—headlines, poster titles, team or event branding, and bold packaging labels. It can handle short bursts of copy, but its dense color and strong personality are most effective when used large with generous spacing.
The font projects a bold, retro confidence with a distinctly showy, competitive energy. Its slanted stance and blocky slabs evoke vintage signage and athletic branding, with a slightly rugged, workwear edge.
Likely designed as an attention-first slab serif that blends vintage sign-painter heft with an italicized, action-oriented posture. The combination of wide construction, bracketed slabs, and notched detailing aims to deliver maximum impact and a distinctive silhouette in branding and titling contexts.
Notched details and stepped terminals add character and help separate shapes in dense settings, especially on letters like S, W, and X. The oblique angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a forward-leaning momentum.
