A heavy oblique slab-serif with broad, squared-off serifs and flat terminals that give the forms a sturdy, block-built presence. Strokes are thick and largely even, with minimal modulation and tightly controlled counters, producing a dense texture in text. Curves are rounded but restrained, while joins and corners tend toward crisp, simplified geometry. The italic construction is clearly structural rather than cursive, maintaining upright serif logic while leaning forward for momentum.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is needed, such as posters, large headlines, sports or team identity work, and bold packaging. It can also serve as an attention-grabbing accent in editorial layouts when used for titles, pull quotes, or short bursts of text.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, combining a workmanlike, industrial solidity with a sporty forward slant. It reads as confident and slightly nostalgic, evoking classic advertising and bold editorial typography without feeling delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight and slab structure, while the oblique angle adds speed and promotional flair. It prioritizes bold legibility at larger sizes and a confident, high-contrast silhouette against simple backgrounds.
The numeral set is similarly weighty and compact, with strong silhouettes that favor impact over finesse. In longer sample lines, the font builds a dark, continuous rhythm, making spacing and word shapes feel punchy and emphatic.
