A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with compact proportions and dense, dark color. Strokes stay broadly even, with sturdy slabs that read as mostly square-ended but softened by subtle rounding and light bracketing where stems meet serifs. Counters are tight and the joins are robust, giving the face a muscular, poster-like presence. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, and the numerals follow the same chunky, forward-leaning rhythm for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where you want maximum impact and a dynamic slant. It’s a strong option for sports branding, event promotions, bold packaging statements, and logo or wordmark treatments that need a sturdy, energetic voice. In longer passages it will feel dense, but it can work for short, punchy blurbs or callouts.
The overall tone is energetic and confident, with a classic “team identity” feel. Its bold, slanted stance suggests speed and emphasis, while the slab structure adds a dependable, workmanlike solidity. The result reads as retro-leaning and attention-grabbing without feeling delicate or precious.
This design appears intended to deliver a forceful, fast-leaning display voice by combining a heavy slab foundation with an italicized, forward-driving posture. The emphasis is on high visibility, strong shapes, and a consistent, compact rhythm that reads cleanly at large sizes.
Spacing appears comfortably open for such a heavy design, helping the italic rhythm stay readable in short bursts. The glyphs favor broad curves and blunt terminals, producing a strong silhouette that holds up well at large sizes.
