A heavy, forward-leaning slab-serif display face with compact proportions and a strong, geometric skeleton. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with broad, squared serifs and clipped corners that create a beveled, chamfered look throughout. Counters are relatively small, apertures are tight, and many joins resolve into sharp angles rather than curves, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture. The figures and capitals feel particularly robust, with squared curves and notched terminals that keep the rhythm crisp at large sizes.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as sports identities, team graphics, event posters, bold headlines, and rugged packaging. It performs especially well in short phrases, badges, and wordmarks where its dense black presence and squared detailing can read clearly.
The overall tone is bold and punchy, with a distinctly sporty, workwear energy. Its angled cuts and dense color give it a competitive, headline-forward attitude that reads as vintage athletic or industrial signage rather than refined editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a tough, athletic flavor—combining sturdy slab-like support with angular, machined corner cuts to create a fast, competitive voice for display typography.
The slant and chamfered detailing create strong directional motion, while the short interior spaces can fill in at smaller sizes. The design’s consistent corner treatment across letters and numerals helps maintain a cohesive, emblematic feel in all-caps settings.
