A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact counters and broad, block-like proportions. Strokes are robust with moderate contrast, and the slab endings read as flat and squared, giving the letterforms a chiseled, poster-ready silhouette. Corners show small cut-ins and notches in several shapes, adding a machined, slightly stenciled flavor while keeping the overall texture dense and even. The lowercase is sturdy and upright in construction despite the slant, with simple forms and tight apertures that maintain a strong horizontal rhythm across text.
Best suited to display work where its dense weight and slanted momentum can project personality—headlines, posters, athletic identities, and bold packaging. It can also work for short bursts of emphasis in editorial layouts, but the tight counters and strong color favor larger sizes and shorter lines.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a retro sports and signage energy. Its exaggerated heft and angled stance convey motion and impact, while the squared slabs add a no-nonsense, workmanlike toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, energetic stance and sturdy slab structure, balancing a vintage display feel with an industrial, cut-letter solidity for attention-grabbing typography.
In text settings the dark color holds together into a strong, continuous band, making it feel confident at display sizes. The numerals match the same chunky, squared-off logic and read as headline-friendly rather than delicate or technical.
