A heavy, slanted slab serif with broad proportions and dense, dark color. Strokes are predominantly monolinear, with square, unbracketed slab serifs and crisp, sheared terminals that reinforce the forward lean. Counters are moderately open and the joins are solid, producing a compact rhythm with strong horizontal emphasis; the numerals and capitals read especially robust and poster-ready.
Best suited for headlines, branding, and short bursts of text where impact matters—such as sports graphics, apparel marks, posters, labels, and bold packaging. It also works well for punchy subheads and callouts, especially when you want a strong, vintage-leaning italic voice.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a classic sports-and-workwear flavor. Its bold, angled stance feels urgent and mechanical rather than delicate, projecting strength and momentum in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a dynamic slant and rugged slab construction, combining utilitarian sturdiness with a retro display attitude for attention-grabbing typography.
The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a cohesive, driving texture. The slab serifs stay firm and squared, helping maintain clarity at larger sizes while keeping a distinctly chunky silhouette.
