A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and pronounced, blocky serifs that read as slightly wedge-like at the joins. Strokes are broadly weighty with a clear but not delicate contrast, and many terminals are cut on angles, giving the forms a sharpened, engineered look. Counters are relatively tight, curves are sturdy and rounded, and several letters show small notches and sheared corners that add a rugged, ink-trap-like texture. The rhythm is punchy and dense, optimized for impact rather than airy openness.
Best suited to headlines, sports and team-style branding, event posters, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but extended body copy may feel heavy due to the dense texture and tight counters.
The overall tone is confident and energetic, mixing a classic athletic/poster sensibility with a slightly industrial edge. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs create forward motion, while the angular cuts add a tough, no-nonsense character that feels bold and attention-seeking.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a bold, slanted slab-serif voice—combining sturdy, traditional structure with modern, angular detailing for a dynamic display look.
In text, the dark color builds quickly, producing strong emphasis and a distinctive texture. The numerals are equally weighty and sporty, matching the letterforms’ angled details and contributing to a cohesive, display-oriented feel.
