A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and a dense, black texture. Strokes are low-contrast and muscular, with flat, square-ended slabs and generally hard, angular joins that keep counters tight and forms sturdy. The italic construction is more of a strong oblique slant than a flowing cursive, preserving a solid, geometric skeleton and giving lines a forward-driving rhythm. Overall spacing and shapes favor impact and stability, with crisp terminals and a consistent, blocky silhouette across letters and figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports or team-oriented branding where a forceful italic presence helps suggest speed and momentum. It can also work well on packaging and bold signage, especially when clarity at a distance and strong silhouette are priorities.
The font projects a bold, energetic tone that feels sporty and headline-ready, with a slightly vintage, poster-like attitude. Its pronounced slabbing and steep slant add urgency and motion while staying grounded and confident, making it feel assertive rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a loud, condensed-feeling slab voice that combines the authority of block serifs with the dynamism of a steep italic. It prioritizes impact, forward motion, and consistent, square-terminated construction for branding and display typography.
In text, the dark color and tight interior spaces create a strong massing effect that rewards larger sizes and generous line spacing. The numerals match the letters’ chunky, square-slab language, maintaining a consistent, impactful cadence in mixed alphanumeric settings.
