A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with squared, unbracketed terminals and a dense, compact color. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtly chamfered corners and occasional notches/cut-ins that sharpen joins and prevent counters from clogging. The letterforms are broad-shouldered and geometric, with firm horizontals and sturdy verticals; bowls and curves are flattened slightly for a more engineered feel. Numerals match the weight and slant, keeping a consistent, block-like rhythm across mixed text.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as sports identities, team or event graphics, posters, merch and apparel lettering, and bold packaging or labels. It can also work for short UI headings or promos where a compact, emphatic voice is needed, but its density makes it less ideal for long-form text.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like urgency. Its italic slant and hard-edged slabs evoke vintage athletic branding and industrial signage, reading as confident, loud, and impact-driven rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited space: a bold slab serif built for immediate recognition, with an italic stance for motion and urgency and squared detailing for a rugged, utilitarian finish.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and massy, producing strong word shapes in all-caps. The lowercase keeps the same muscular construction, with a sturdy, single-storey feel where applicable and a generally closed, efficient use of space in counters.
