A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a blocky, angular construction. Strokes show a moderate contrast with pronounced, squared-off slab terminals and small wedge-like cuts that create sharp corners and beveled joins. Counters are compact and geometric, and the overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with sturdy stems and short, forceful arms and crossbars. The numerals match the letters in weight and angle, maintaining the same chiselled, cut-in detailing and solid silhouettes.
Well suited to sports and team identities, event posters, merchandise, and bold editorial headlines where impact matters more than quiet readability. It also works for logos and package/front-label typography that benefits from a rugged, vintage-display texture.
The face projects a bold, competitive tone with a vintage athletic and poster-like attitude. Its slanted, hard-edged forms feel fast and emphatic, giving text a sense of impact and urgency while retaining a classic display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact display voice that combines sturdy slab-serif foundations with an italicized, speed-driven stance. The consistent beveled cuts and squared terminals suggest a deliberate effort to evoke classic athletic lettering and bold print-era advertising.
At text sizes it reads best when given generous tracking and line spacing, as the dense interiors and strong diagonals can visually bunch in longer lines. The distinctive notched corners and slab endings create a recognizable texture that stands out most in short phrases and large settings.
