A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, rectangular serifs that often appear slightly bracketed into the stems. Strokes show noticeable modulation: verticals read stronger while curves and joins taper, giving counters a slightly pinched, engineered feel. Letterforms are compact vertically with a sturdy x-height, and many glyphs show purposeful shaping at joins and corners that suggests subtle ink-trap-like notches. Overall spacing is generous and the rhythm is punchy, with strong horizontals and a pronounced forward lean.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact and speed are desirable: headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for editorial decks or section openers where a strong typographic voice is needed, but its dense weight and slant may become tiring in long continuous reading.
The tone is confident and energetic, blending a retro, athletic flavor with a utilitarian, workhorse seriousness. Its wide stance and emphatic slabs create a loud, attention-seeking voice that feels suited to bold statements rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, forward-moving slab serif for display typography, combining wide proportions, pronounced serifs, and controlled contrast to maintain clarity at large sizes while projecting energy and solidity.
Uppercase forms are especially broad and stable, while lowercase shows tight, dark color with rounded bowls and firm entry/exit strokes. Numerals are hefty and display-oriented, matching the uppercase weight and maintaining the same forward momentum.
