A heavy, slanted slab-serif with a compact, tightly engineered feel. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with squared-off joins and robust slab feet that read as slightly wedge/bracketed rather than hairline. Counters are relatively small, giving the letters a dense color on the page, while the rounded forms (like O and C) stay broad and stable. The italic construction is strong and consistent, with diagonals and terminals maintaining crisp edges and a punchy, poster-ready silhouette.
Well suited for sports branding, team marks, and energetic headlines where an aggressive, forward-leaning slab can carry the message. It also fits posters, packaging, and signage that benefit from dense, high-impact letterforms and a rugged, retro-leaning presence.
The overall tone is bold and competitive, suggesting sports graphics, old-school headlines, and workwear sturdiness. Its slanted stance adds speed and urgency, while the chunky slabs keep it grounded and tough.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, italicized posture and durable slab-serifs that hold up in bold, attention-driven settings. The consistent, blocky construction emphasizes clarity and punch over delicate detail, targeting display typography and branding work.
In text, the heavy weight and small counters make it most comfortable at display sizes, where the crisp edges and energetic rhythm are clearly visible. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, squared construction, reinforcing a uniform, emphatic voice across letters and figures.
