A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad, blocklike letterforms and sturdy square-ended details. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, while the serifs read as bold slabs with slight shaping that helps corners feel less brittle. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are full and rounded yet held firmly by flat joins and strong horizontals; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay chunky and stable. Lowercase is compact and upright in structure but carried by the italic slant, with a single-storey a and g and generous, dark counters that keep shapes recognizable at display sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as posters, large headlines, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks where dense weight and slanted momentum are desirable. In longer text, the strong dark color and compact rhythm will read as emphatic and attention-grabbing, making it most effective for brief statements and titles.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, combining a vintage, workmanlike sturdiness with the forward motion of an italic. It suggests team graphics, headlines, and branding that needs to feel tough, direct, and high-impact rather than delicate or quiet.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy slabs, simplified low-contrast strokes, and a consistent italic lean. The goal seems to be a durable, athletic display voice that remains highly legible while projecting speed and confidence.
The set shows a pronounced, uniform slant across both cases, producing a tight, rhythmic texture in words. Numerals are bold and athletic in color, with simple, legible forms that match the squared-off, slab-driven personality of the letters.
