Sportsbrut

スポーツブルート / late 2010s– / Style / Contemporary Branding

A sports-graphic style connecting brutalist grids, huge type, and exposed structure with competition, timing, bodies, and scores. Roughness communicates force and urgency rather than institutional refusal.

Huge condensed type and jersey numbers cutting across the frame / Coarse halftones, cut-out athletes, and directional blur / Black and white plus one fluorescent or team color / Exposed scores, times, and rankings in heavy ruled grids
