A heavy, oblique slab serif with a compact, block-built construction and sharply chamfered corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and the serifs read as flat, squared slabs that reinforce a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Curves are largely tamed into faceted forms (notably in round letters and numerals), giving the design a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase maintains strong presence with a high x-height and short, decisive extenders, while counters stay relatively tight for a dense, impactful texture.
Best suited for short-form display settings where impact and immediacy matter—headlines, posters, team or club branding, apparel graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for wayfinding or signage when set at generous sizes, where its dense, blocky forms remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and action-oriented, evoking athletics, uniforms, and vintage signage. Its angled stance and squared detailing add urgency and toughness, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and dependable rather than delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through a strong slab framework, italic momentum, and faceted geometry that holds up in large-scale use. Its consistent weight and squared detailing suggest an intention to feel tough, practical, and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design relies on prominent corner cuts and squared terminals to create recognizable, stencil-like facets without breaking strokes. Numerals follow the same angular logic, producing a cohesive, hard-edged set suited to bold messaging.
