A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and firm, square-shouldered construction. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with thick horizontal and vertical elements and sturdy, flat-ended slabs that read clearly at display sizes. The lowercase is large relative to the capitals, giving a strong text color and tight rhythm, while bowls and counters remain open enough to avoid clogging. Terminals and joins feel engineered and decisive, with crisp edges and minimal curvature beyond the main bowls.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its heavy slabs and slanted momentum can carry the layout. It works especially well for sports and team branding, bold packaging callouts, event posters, and signage that needs a strong, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is bold and active, combining a vintage athletic feel with a utilitarian, workmanlike seriousness. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs add momentum and confidence, making it feel direct and attention-seeking rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended as a high-impact slab serif that blends italic motion with robust, squared detailing for confident display typography. It prioritizes bold presence and fast recognition, aiming for a rugged, energetic impression across letters and numerals.
The letterforms emphasize width and horizontal presence, creating a strong baseline and a slightly compressed sense of internal space. Numerals match the assertive, block-forward voice and maintain the same square, slab-driven detailing for a consistent set.
