A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and tightly packed counters that create a dark, compact texture. Strokes are robust and largely even, with squared-off slab terminals and short, blunt serifs that read clearly at display sizes. Letterforms lean into angular joins and flattened curves, producing a muscular, engineered rhythm; round characters stay wide and sturdy, while diagonals feel forceful and slightly compressed by the slant.
Best suited to display typography where strength and motion are desirable—sports identities, team merchandise, event posters, bold editorial headlines, and punchy packaging. It can also serve in short subheads or callouts, where its dense weight and slant add emphasis without needing additional decoration.
The overall tone is energetic and competitive, echoing classic sports and varsity branding while still feeling industrial and no-nonsense. Its strong slant and massed black shapes project speed, confidence, and a poster-like urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, powerful slab-serif voice: wide, sturdy forms with a pronounced slant for motion, and squared slabs for a tough, utilitarian finish. It prioritizes immediate impact and branding clarity over delicate detail.
The figures are bold and wide with simple, stable construction, matching the letterforms’ compact, high-impact color. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping lines of text maintain momentum and a unified forward drive.
