A heavy, right-slanted slab-serif with chunky, squared terminals and carved interior notches that read like ink-trap details. Strokes are predominantly straight and muscular with rounded corners used selectively, creating a sturdy, compact silhouette and tight counters. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified forms, while capitals stay broad and block-like; numerals follow the same rugged geometry with flat feet and strong horizontals. Overall rhythm is energetic and dense, with consistent slab treatments that keep the texture bold and poster-ready.
Best suited to display settings where impact and momentum matter: sports identities, event posters, bold editorial heads, and rugged packaging. It can also work for short logo wordmarks or badges where the slab structure and carved details can be showcased without crowding.
The tone is forceful and sporty, with a vintage, workmanlike flavor reminiscent of athletic branding and bold display signage. Its slanted stance adds motion and urgency, while the chunky slabs and cut-in details give it a gritty, industrial confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact, forward-leaning slab style, combining athletic speed with durable, industrial detailing. Its consistent, carved forms suggest a focus on strong recognition and a distinctive texture in large-scale typography.
The distinctive inner cutouts and narrow apertures become a defining texture at larger sizes, but can visually fill in when set small or tightly tracked. The italic angle is steady across cases and figures, helping lines feel fast and unified.
