A heavy, compact italic slab serif with broad, squared serifs and a strong rightward slant. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing dark color and a tight rhythm, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Letterforms lean on sturdy, rectangular construction with crisp corners and short joins, giving the design a blocky, punchy silhouette. Numerals and capitals appear especially robust, with a consistent forward motion across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where strong emphasis is needed. It can work well for sports branding, promotional materials, packaging, and bold logotypes, especially when you want compact wording with high visual impact.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like presence that feels built for impact. Its slanted stance and dense weight suggest speed and urgency, while the slab structure adds a workmanlike, industrial confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining a strong italic drive with sturdy slab serifs for a confident, attention-grabbing display voice.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as intentionally dynamic rather than simply oblique. The heavy serifs and compact widths create strong word shapes at larger sizes, but the dense texture can become dominant in longer passages.
