A heavy, oblique slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a compact, blocky build. Strokes stay broadly even, with minimal modulation, creating a solid rhythm and strong color on the page. Curves are rounded but tightly controlled, counters are relatively enclosed, and terminals resolve with flat, confident cuts. The italic is constructed rather than calligraphic, keeping the letterforms upright in structure while leaning forward for momentum.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and punchy editorial callouts where a strong, slanted voice is needed. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, packaging, and bold signage, especially when the goal is high impact and clear silhouette over long-form readability.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a distinctly retro, athletic flavor. Its forward slant and chunky slabs suggest urgency and impact, reading as confident and workmanlike rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a streamlined, mechanical italic: big slabs, flat terminals, and uniform stroke strength working together for a rugged, attention-grabbing presence.
In text, the dense weight and tight apertures produce a dark, emphatic texture, best when used with generous spacing and size. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and stance, reinforcing the consistent, punchy voice across headlines and short settings.
