A very heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and a compact internal rhythm. Strokes are thick and low-contrast, with squared, flat-ended terminals and chunky slab-like feet that read clearly at display sizes. The letterforms feel built from solid blocks: counters are relatively small, joins are firm, and curves are tightened into sturdy, rounded-rect shapes. The italic is mechanical rather than calligraphic, maintaining consistent weight while pushing forward with a pronounced, uniform slant.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, bold editorial headlines, merchandise graphics, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It can also work for punchy subheads or callouts when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a distinctly retro, sport-forward attitude. Its blocky slabs and strong slant suggest speed, impact, and confidence—more “headline statement” than “quiet reading.”
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through heavy slabs, wide stance, and an insistent italic slant, prioritizing immediacy and bold branding. The squared terminals and low-contrast construction reinforce durability and clarity in large-format, attention-grabbing typography.
The numerals and capitals carry a similarly heavy, squared construction, supporting a cohesive, poster-friendly texture. In text, the dense color and tight counters create a solid, continuous band of black, emphasizing emphasis and momentum over lightness.
