A heavy, obliqued slab serif with compact proportions and a strongly forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with squared-off terminals and sturdy, block-like serifs that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Counters tend to be squarish and tight, apertures are relatively closed, and the overall silhouette feels dense and punchy. Numerals and capitals carry the same angular, athletic rhythm, keeping letterforms consistent and high-impact in display settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, sports and outdoor branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It will also work well for logos or wordmarks that need a fast, muscular feel and strong presence.
The font projects a sporty, retro-utility tone—confident, tough, and energetic. Its slanted, chunky forms evoke team branding, workwear labeling, and mid-century industrial graphics, delivering a straightforward, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, slanted slab-serif look that reads quickly and feels dynamic, combining industrial squareness with an athletic, display-forward rhythm.
The oblique angle is pronounced enough to create speed and momentum, while the square details keep it grounded and mechanical. The texture in text lines appears dark and even, favoring impact over airy readability at small sizes.
