A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with compact counters and a strong, blocky silhouette. Strokes are broadly monolinear with squared terminals and wedge-like joins, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Distinct stencil breaks cut through stems and bowls with consistent bridges, creating crisp gaps that stay readable at display sizes. The set leans wide and sturdy, with low interior whitespace and a slightly condensed feel in some lowercase forms due to tight apertures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where the stencil breaks become a visual asset rather than a distraction. It works well for sports branding, team marks, event posters, rugged product packaging, and industrial or wayfinding-style signage where a strong, slanted voice is desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a fast, competitive slant and an industrial toughness from the stencil construction. It reads as utilitarian and rugged while still feeling stylized, evoking classic sports lettering and hard-working signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact display voice that combines athletic italic energy with practical stencil construction. Its heavy slabs and consistent bridges suggest an aim for robust reproduction in cut-out, painted, or stamped contexts while staying visually punchy in modern graphics.
The stencil cuts are substantial enough to register as a defining graphic feature, adding rhythm across lines of text and making the face especially impactful in solid black. Numerals and caps maintain a consistent, squared-off presence that supports bold, high-contrast compositions against light backgrounds.
