This typeface is a slanted, faceted serif with strong diagonal stress and a chiseled, chamfered construction. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with crisp, clipped corners and small wedge-like terminals that read as stylized serifs rather than full brackets. The outlines favor polygonal curves—especially in O/C/G and the numerals—creating an octagonal rhythm, while counters stay relatively open for clarity. Overall spacing is fairly compact with a consistent, forward-leaning cadence and sturdy, display-oriented letterforms.
Best used at display sizes where the chamfered corners and stylized serifs remain crisp and intentional. It works well for athletic identities, event graphics, posters, album or game titles, and bold packaging callouts. In longer text, the strong slant and angular rhythm are more effective for short bursts such as subheads, pull quotes, or labels rather than sustained reading.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and graphic, suggesting motion and impact. Its angular detailing and italic drive give it a competitive, high-energy feel that leans sporty and retro without becoming overtly ornamental. The vibe is confident and attention-seeking, suited to headlines that need to feel decisive.
The design appears intended to combine the forward motion of an italic with a carved, geometric serif vocabulary, producing a compact, high-impact display face. The repeated cut corners and wedge terminals suggest a deliberate effort to create a cohesive, emblematic texture that stays legible while feeling aggressive and dynamic.
Uppercase forms feel more geometric and emblematic, while lowercase adds a slightly more calligraphic, blackletter-adjacent flavor through sharper joins and pointed terminals. Numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry, helping the set feel cohesive in scoreboards, dates, and short numeric callouts.
