A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad, block-like strokes and square-cut terminals. The serifs read as sturdy slabs with little to no bracketing, and the overall construction favors angular corners and flattened curves. Counters are relatively tight, apertures tend to be narrow, and the letterforms maintain a compact, forward-leaning rhythm. Figures and capitals carry the same dense, uniform weight, creating a strong, poster-like color in text.
Best suited to high-impact display roles such as sports identity systems, team merchandise, punchy headlines, and promotional posters. It also works well for packaging, labels, and signage where a compact, authoritative italic slab look helps text stand out at a glance.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a dynamic, competitive energy from the italic slant and dense silhouettes. It suggests a utilitarian, sporty voice—confident, loud, and engineered—while retaining a slightly vintage, headline-driven feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a forward-leaning stance, pairing stout slab serifs and squared forms for a rugged, industrial readability. Its consistent weight and compact counters aim for strong presence and quick recognition in branding and display typography.
The shapes emphasize straight segments and squared-off details, producing crisp edges and high impact at display sizes. In longer lines, the tight interior space and heavy weight create a forceful texture that benefits from generous tracking and leading.
