A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with square-ended terminals and sturdy, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are built from broad, simplified shapes with minimal modulation, producing a steady, mechanical rhythm across lines. Serifs read as thick, flat slabs and joins stay clean and blunt, while counters remain open enough to hold up at display sizes. Numerals match the same robust construction, with rounded forms kept tight and weighty.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and punchy editorial callouts where its weight and slab structure can carry the message. It also fits sports branding, labels, and signage that benefit from a tough, engineered look and clear, repeatable letterforms.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of stamped labeling, athletic signage, and workmanlike printing. Its italic slant adds forward motion and urgency without becoming calligraphic, keeping the feel practical rather than elegant.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, industrial-leaning italic voice with slab-serif authority and consistent, repeatable shapes that read reliably in emphatic display settings.
The design favors consistent density and strong silhouettes, creating high impact in short phrases and headlines. In running text, the chunky slabs and uniform stroke weight give a firm, poster-like color that can feel intense if set too small or too tightly spaced.
