A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and crisp, square-ended terminals. Strokes stay largely monolinear, relying on weight and angular cut-ins rather than contrast for definition. The serifs read as blunt slabs that often align with the stroke width, and many joins and corners are chamfered or notched, creating a mechanical, constructed feel. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and curves (like in O/Q/C) are smoothly rounded but finished with firm, flat edges where they meet stems or terminals, maintaining a consistent, engineered rhythm across the set.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, dynamic presence is needed. It fits especially well in sports and performance-adjacent graphics, product packaging, labels, and signage where bold shapes and square terminals can carry across distance and reproduce reliably.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, no-nonsense voice that suggests speed and utility. Its squared detailing and sturdy slabs also give it a practical, industrial edge, while the italic slant adds forward motion and a slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident display slab with forward-leaning motion and industrial precision. Its consistent stroke weight, blunt slabs, and angular detailing prioritize impact and legibility at large sizes while projecting a technical, performance-minded character.
The design emphasizes clear silhouettes and strong horizontals, with distinctive corner treatments that help characters feel customized rather than purely geometric. Numerals match the same robust, squared construction, supporting cohesive headline settings and prominent labeling.
