A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and dense, compact counters. Strokes are built from chunky, mostly monoline forms that end in squared, block-like terminals and short slabs, giving the letters a carved, mechanical feel. Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals) are rounded but tightened by abrupt joins and flattened endings, creating a strong rhythm and punchy texture. Spacing reads sturdy and display-oriented, with a consistent forward slant and simplified internal shapes that keep the silhouette bold and uniform.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, sports and event branding, bold packaging, and logo or wordmark applications where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It performs especially well when set large with modest line lengths, where the strong slabs and oblique motion can read as intentional emphasis rather than texture.
The overall tone is forceful and high-impact, with a sporty, retro-leaning attitude reminiscent of team lettering and vintage advertising. Its oblique stance and thick slabs add momentum and urgency, while the squared terminals contribute a tough, workmanlike character.
This design appears intended as a display slab-serif that combines a blocky, square-terminal build with an italicized forward drive, prioritizing impact and momentum. The simplified, sturdy details suggest it was drawn to remain cohesive at large sizes and to project strength in branding and promotional contexts.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence at larger sizes, but the tight apertures and heavy weight create a dark color that can reduce clarity in long passages or small sizes. Numerals are bold and stylized to match the letterforms, maintaining the same blocky, forward-leaning energy.
