A heavy, oblique slab-serif design with squared-off terminals and broad, block-like proportions. Strokes stay largely even, with minimal contrast and crisp corners that give the outlines a machined feel. Counters are relatively tight and rectangular, and joins are clean and sturdy, producing a compact, forceful texture in words. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with consistent slab details that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short setting where impact and speed are desired, such as sports branding, event posters, product packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for subheads or callouts where a dense, high-energy texture helps establish hierarchy.
The font projects a sporty, no-nonsense tone—confident and workmanlike with a retro athletic edge. Its strong slabs and forward slant add momentum, making it feel action-oriented and slightly industrial rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, high-impact italic voice that stays structured and legible through squared slabs and sturdy proportions. It prioritizes punchy presence and a dynamic slant over refinement, aligning well with athletic and industrial visual systems.
Capitals are wide and stable with pronounced, flat serifs, while lowercase forms keep the same squared construction and solid weight. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, maintaining strong silhouettes and an even, punchy color in lines of text.
