A condensed, right-leaning serif with heavy, tapered strokes and sharp wedge-like terminals. The forms emphasize forward motion through slanted verticals, angled joins, and pointed interior cuts that create small triangular notches in places. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the letters a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals match the same bold, condensed rhythm with similarly sharpened terminals and brisk diagonals.
Best suited to display settings where compact width and strong contrast in rhythm help fit more characters without losing impact. It works well for posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, bold packaging labels, and promotional graphics where a dynamic italic serif can carry the message on its own.
The overall tone is fast, punchy, and a bit theatrical—suggesting speed, competition, and headline urgency. Its sharp wedges and aggressive slant read as retro-display energy with a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in tight horizontal space while projecting speed and confidence. Its sharpened terminals and consistent slant suggest a deliberate, stylized serif meant for expressive titles rather than quiet text reading.
Uppercase shapes feel tall and tightly set, while lowercase maintains strong legibility through sturdy stems and clear silhouettes, even with narrow counters. The italic construction is integral rather than simply slanted, with diagonals and terminals consistently tuned to the forward-leaning stance.
