A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, square-ended strokes and stout, block-like serifs. The letterforms emphasize chunky geometry and firm horizontals, with tight inner counters and compact joins that keep the texture dense and uniform in headlines. Terminals are predominantly flat and clipped, and the italics are built with a strong mechanical slant rather than calligraphic modulation. Rounded characters (like O/C) stay robust and slightly squared-off in feel, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain thick and stable.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where impact matters more than delicate detail. It fits sports branding, event promos, bold packaging callouts, and logo or wordmark work that benefits from a condensed, high-density texture.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a brisk, athletic energy. Its blocky slabs and forward slant give it a retro-signage and sports editorial flavor—direct, loud, and designed to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in an italic slab serif form, combining a forceful forward lean with sturdy, squared construction for attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing reads on the tight side, producing a dark, continuous rhythm that favors larger sizes. Numerals match the weight and stance of the letters, maintaining the same sturdy, squared construction for consistent emphasis in mixed text.
