A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and firmly squared, unbracketed serifs. Strokes stay largely uniform in weight, producing a dense, poster-ready texture, while counters are relatively tight and apertures are compact. The letters have a slightly condensed internal spacing feel despite their width, with blunt terminals and crisp joins that emphasize a machined, block-built construction. Numerals match the uppercase’s mass and stance, with simple, sturdy shapes that hold up at large sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where impact matters: headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, and packaging where a rugged, confident voice is needed, and it can work for signage when set with generous spacing and size.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a distinctly retro, athletic flavor. Its slanted posture and chunky slabs create a sense of momentum and urgency, suggesting headlines that need to feel energetic and confident rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch through heavy slabs, broad letterforms, and a dynamic italic stance. It prioritizes strong silhouette and graphic presence, aiming for a robust, vintage-leaning display style that remains straightforward and highly legible at larger sizes.
In text settings the weight produces strong horizontal bands from the slab serifs, making line breaks and word shapes very pronounced. The italic angle is consistent and the squareness of terminals gives the face a disciplined, engineered look that reads especially clearly in short phrases and display lines.
