A heavy, forward-slanted slab-serif with squared, flat-ended terminals and a largely monolinear stroke feel. The letterforms are constructed from broad, sturdy stems with tight, compact interior counters and clipped corners that keep the shapes crisp. Serifs read as thick rectangular slabs with minimal bracketing, and many joins and shoulders are simplified into blunt, mechanical curves. Overall proportions are slightly condensed in feel, with tall lowercase bodies and short ascenders/descenders that concentrate weight in the midband.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, and apparel or merchandise graphics. It can also work for bold packaging and signage where a compact, forceful voice is desired, while longer paragraphs may require larger sizes and comfortable leading.
The font projects a sporty, hard-hitting tone with a vintage poster and team-graphics flavor. Its dense blackness and squared detailing create an industrial, no-nonsense voice that reads as confident and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and legibility at display sizes by combining thick slabs, squared terminals, and a consistent, simplified construction. The pronounced slant and compact counters reinforce a sense of speed and toughness associated with athletic and industrial styling.
Uppercase and numerals are especially block-forward, with sturdy diagonals and angular terminals that maintain a consistent rhythm across the set. In text, the strong slant and heavy slabs create a pronounced horizontal drive, so spacing and line breaks benefit from generous breathing room.
