A heavy, slanted slab-serif with blocky, angular construction and broad proportions. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with squared terminals and prominent slab serifs that read as cut-in wedges on some joins. Counters are compact and openings are tight, giving the face a dense, high-impact texture in text. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified forms with a single-storey a and g and short extenders, reinforcing a solid, compact rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, dynamic voice is needed. It fits athletic identities, team graphics, workwear-inspired packaging, product labels, and logo wordmarks, particularly when set large with generous tracking.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, workwear character that feels built for impact. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs evoke vintage athletic lettering and industrial labeling, projecting confidence and toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and motion through a slanted, slab-serif structure, combining sturdy rectangular strokes with angular details for a bold, vintage-leaning display presence.
In larger settings the angular notches, squared corners, and pronounced serifs create a distinctive, chiseled silhouette. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense spacing can make paragraphs feel dark, but it remains effective for short bursts where emphasis is desired.
