A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with compact, blocky proportions and crisp, angular shaping. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with flat-ended terminals and bold rectangular slabs that read as cut, not brushed. Corners are frequently clipped or chamfered, creating a faceted rhythm through bowls and joints; several glyphs show small notch-like cuts that resemble ink-trap or stencil-style detailing. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with tight interior counters and firm baselines that keep forms stable even at large display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where strong presence is desirable: sports branding, team marks, event posters, merchandising, and bold packaging. It also works well for short, high-impact headlines, badges, and labels where the angular slab detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is sporty and hard-working—confident, loud, and slightly retro. Its faceted cuts and steep slant add motion and impact, suggesting competition, machinery, and headline urgency rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of speed and toughness, combining a classic slab-serif foundation with angular, cut-in details that enhance distinctiveness and legibility in bold display settings.
The numerals and capitals carry a uniform, poster-like weight with strong rectangular geometry, while the lowercase maintains the same squared construction for consistency. The angular cuts create distinctive silhouettes that stay recognizable in short words and initials, but the dense counters and heavy slabs make it visually dominant in continuous reading.
