A heavy, oblique slab-serif with compact counters and sturdy, rectangular serifs that read as squared-off blocks. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready color. Curves are firm and slightly squared in feel, while joins and terminals stay blunt and decisive; the overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, and the lowercase maintains clear, readable shapes with a straightforward, workmanlike texture.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where impact and immediacy are the goal. It fits sports branding, event promotion, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage, especially where a retro-industrial tone is desired.
The font conveys a punchy, assertive tone with a vintage athletic and signage flavor. Its forward slant and chunky slabs create momentum and urgency, while the squared construction adds an industrial, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display slab with an oblique stance, emphasizing strength, speed, and legibility at headline sizes. Its squared serifs and compact shapes suggest a focus on rugged clarity and branding presence rather than delicate detail.
In text, the dark color and tight interior spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes where counters can breathe. The numerals match the same blocky, athletic character, and the punctuation (as seen in the sample) holds up with similarly stout weight.
