A heavy, oblique slab-serif with sturdy, blocky construction and minimal stroke modulation. The slabs read as thick and confident with mostly squared-off terminals, while joins show slight bracketing that softens the geometry. Proportions are broad with generous horizontal span, and the italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Letterforms maintain tight, compact counters (notably in a/e/s) and a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture that stays even in dense text.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the dense weight and slanted rhythm can deliver impact quickly. It performs well for sports-oriented branding, posters, and packaging, and can also support bold editorial callouts when set with adequate spacing.
The overall tone feels energetic and punchy, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its bold, slanted stance adds momentum and urgency, lending a retro editorial flavor that reads as assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to fuse slab-serif sturdiness with italic motion, creating a strong display face that signals speed, confidence, and emphasis while staying structurally simple and repeatable across the set.
Caps are built on strong, simple silhouettes with prominent serifs and a stable baseline presence, while the lowercase keeps a clean, workmanlike structure that prioritizes impact. Numerals follow the same forward lean and chunky detailing, supporting attention-grabbing display settings.
