A condensed oblique serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and subtly flared terminals that widen into small wedge-like endings. The letterforms are compact and upright in structure but strongly slanted, with squared-off curves and slightly softened corners that keep the texture dense and even. Counters are relatively small, joints are robust, and several shapes show restrained notch/ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins, reinforcing a practical, engineered feel. Numerals and caps read solid and blocky, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with simple, workmanlike construction and minimal stroke modulation.
Best suited to display applications where a compact, emphatic voice is needed—sports identities, headlines, posters, and bold packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text in labels or wayfinding where the condensed width helps fit copy into narrow spaces.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a distinctly vintage, sporty flavor. Its condensed slant and flared endings evoke signage, team branding, and industrial labeling—confident rather than delicate, and more functional than formal.
Likely designed to deliver a dense, high-impact italic voice with classic serif cues while staying tough and practical. The flared terminals and condensed proportions suggest an aim toward attention-grabbing branding and signage, balancing vintage character with modern efficiency.
The strong slant and tight internal spaces create a compact, high-impact color on the page, especially in all caps. Curves tend toward squarish geometry, giving round letters a slightly compressed, utilitarian presence that holds up well at display sizes.
