A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with square, flat-ended serifs and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are broad-shouldered and compact, with a strong horizontal emphasis and tight interior counters that hold up in large sizes. Corners and terminals are decisively cut, giving the shapes a crisp, machined feel, while the italic slant adds forward motion without introducing calligraphic modulation. Numerals are robust and simple, matching the blocky rhythm of the uppercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as sports identities, event posters, bold editorial headlines, and punchy packaging. It can also work for wordmarks and badges where a sturdy italic slab voice is needed, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The font conveys a bold, energetic tone that reads as confident and workmanlike. Its strong slabs and oblique posture suggest speed and impact, lending a classic athletic and vintage display flavor with a modern, no-nonsense edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, industrial slab structure while adding momentum through an italic angle. It prioritizes a strong silhouette, consistent texture, and clear, square-ended detailing for attention-grabbing display typography.
The overall color is dark and even, with consistent stroke density across curves and straights. The set favors solidity over delicacy, and the squarish serifs and terminals create a steady baseline presence that feels stable even in slanted text.
