A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with squared-off terminals and sturdy, rectangular serifs. The letterforms are built from compact, mostly straight strokes with rounded outside corners and frequent chamfer-like cuts that create an athletic, engineered rhythm. Uppercase forms read relatively compact while lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified, sturdy shapes; counters are tight and apertures are controlled, giving the design a dense, punchy texture. Figures follow the same squared, italicized construction, with consistent stroke endings and a cohesive, blocky silhouette.
Best suited to headlines and short, emphatic text where the dense slabs and forward lean can project energy—sports identities, event posters, bold packaging callouts, and assertive signage. It can also work for UI labels or section headers when a rugged, technical voice is desired, provided sizes and spacing keep counters from closing up.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, workmanlike character. Its slanted stance and squared slabs suggest motion and impact, while the crisp corners and uniform heft add a technical, industrial edge with a retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, fast, and mechanical display voice by combining italic motion with squared slab terminals and tightly controlled forms. Its consistent, block-like construction prioritizes impact and recognizability over delicate detail, aiming for clear presence in branding and promotional typography.
The face relies on strong horizontals, squared curves, and small internal spaces, which makes it most visually confident at larger sizes. The italic angle is integral to the drawing rather than a simple slant, and the caps and figures maintain a consistent, poster-ready presence across the set.
