A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and a sturdy, low-contrast build. Strokes are thick and even, with squared slab terminals and small bracketed joins that soften the corners without losing the blocky silhouette. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward the closed side, producing dark color and strong impact; the italic slant adds forward motion while maintaining a stable, rectangular rhythm. Numerals and capitals read as robust and sign-ready, with consistent weight and firm horizontal serifs.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where weight and slant can do the expressive work. It also fits sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a sturdy slab presence and high visual momentum.
The overall tone feels sporty and workmanlike—confident, slightly vintage, and built for attention. Its bold, slanted stance suggests speed and urgency, while the slab structure carries a dependable, utilitarian character.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, energetic slab-serif voice: wide, dark, and forward-leaning for display settings while keeping a consistent, no-nonsense structure for clear word shapes at larger sizes.
The dense typographic color and squared detailing make spacing feel tight and punchy in text. The slant is pronounced enough to create momentum, but the forms remain legible and anchored by strong serifs and straightforward construction.
