A heavy, oblique slab-serif with blocky construction and squared-off terminals. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with compact counters and a tight interior rhythm that keeps the forms dense and impactful. The serifs read as sturdy, rectangular slabs, often appearing as flat feet and caps that reinforce a mechanical, cut-from-a-solid feel. Curves (like C, G, O, S) are rounded but restrained, with squarish joins and corners that keep the overall silhouette crisp. Numerals match the letterforms’ mass and stance, with simplified shapes and strong, stable bases.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact statements where the weight and slanted stance can do the work of grabbing attention. It fits sports branding, team or club identities, bold poster typography, and rugged packaging labels. For longer passages, it’s likely most effective in larger point sizes or as a supporting accent rather than body text.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, poster-like presence. Its oblique slant and chunky slabs add a sense of motion and urgency, while the squared finishing details lend a rugged, industrial confidence. The result feels retro-leaning and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through mass, slant, and squared slab details, aiming for a fast, bold, poster-ready voice. The consistent oblique posture and sturdy terminals suggest an intent to evoke athletic and industrial cues while maintaining clear, straightforward letterforms.
The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping lines of text maintain a forward-driving texture. Spacing appears tuned for bold display use, and the dense counters and slabbed details suggest it performs best when given room (larger sizes or shorter lines) to avoid filling-in.
