A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with a compact, blocky build and squared terminals. Serifs are blunt and unbracketed, joining the main strokes crisply to create a rigid, athletic rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward narrow, with a generally rectangular, engineered silhouette that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The numerals match the letterforms’ mass and slant, keeping a strong, uniform texture in lines of text.
Well suited to sports branding, team or event graphics, posters, and bold headline systems where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It can also work for logo wordmarks and apparel-style typography, especially when the goal is an impactful, condensed line presence with a clear slanted motion.
The overall tone is bold and competitive, with a distinctly sporty, retro-industrial feel. Its dense color and sharp, squared details convey confidence and impact, reading like classic athletic lettering and no-nonsense signage.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, athletic slant while preserving the solidity and legibility of slab-serif construction. The square joins and heavy weight prioritize a tough, utilitarian character that holds up in display-scale applications.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to add forward motion without turning the shapes into cursive forms, and the slab details remain firm at the ends of strokes. The design produces a dark, punchy typographic color that favors short bursts of text over delicate settings.
