A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes are low-contrast and assertive, with square-ended joins and chunky slab terminals that read as slightly bracketed in places. The italic construction feels mechanically sheared rather than calligraphic, producing a steady diagonal rhythm across caps and lowercase. Details like tight apertures and small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins add crispness and help keep joins from clogging at this weight.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports identity, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for signage or apparel graphics where the strong slant and slab structure help maintain recognition at a distance, while longer text will likely feel dense and attention-grabbing.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a distinctly sporty, retro flavor. Its dense black footprint and slanted stance suggest speed, impact, and a no-nonsense, workmanlike confidence rather than elegance or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, athletic slant and industrial slab structure. Its forms prioritize bold presence and clear silhouettes, using tight counters and sturdy terminals to stay coherent at heavy weights in display-led typography.
Caps are sturdy and compact, with rounded bowls kept tight for solidity (notably in letters like B, R, and S). The numerals match the same bold, italicized construction and feel built for emphasis, with simplified shapes and strong horizontal slabs that hold up in display settings.
