A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with squared-off terminals and thick, blunt serifs that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate finishing strokes. Strokes are broadly uniform, with a compact rhythm and slightly tightened counters that emphasize mass and punch. The forms show crisp corners and occasional notch-like cut-ins at joins, giving a subtly engineered, stamped look. Numerals and capitals are sturdy and upright in construction while sharing the same strong slanted stance, producing a forceful, forward-moving texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display use where strong color and forward slant help carry a message—headlines, posters, sports or team branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short, emphatic subheads or logotype-style wordmarks where a tough, industrial slab voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, poster-ready presence and a hint of vintage athletic lettering. Its blocky slabs and aggressive slant convey urgency and confidence, suggesting motion, competition, and headline impact rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to maximize impact through dense, block-like slabs and an assertive italic posture, delivering a confident, motion-driven look for promotional and headline typography.
In text settings the dark color builds quickly, creating a strong horizontal drive and a compact, attention-grabbing word shape. The squared serifs and firm terminals keep edges crisp at display sizes, while the pronounced slant adds momentum and emphasis.
