A compact, angular serif display face with pronounced chamfered corners and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with crisp joints and cut-in terminals that read like clipped serifs rather than soft bracketed endings. Counters are tight and geometric, and many curves are faceted into octagonal-like forms (notably in C, O, Q, and the numerals), giving the alphabet a rugged, machined rhythm. Spacing appears slightly tight, reinforcing a dense, headline-oriented texture, while the italic slant adds momentum without introducing calligraphic contrast.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as sports identities, team wordmarks, event posters, product labels, and bold editorial headers. It can also work for signage or packaging where a rugged, vintage-industrial flavor is desired, while longer passages may feel dense due to the tight counters and strong angularity.
The overall tone is tough and energetic, evoking athletic branding, workwear labeling, and vintage signage. Its sharp corners and compressed, forceful shapes feel confident and utilitarian, with a nostalgic edge reminiscent of classic sports and industrial marks.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a distinctive faceted serif construction—combining the authority of a serif silhouette with the speed and grit of an italic, corner-clipped display style.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent faceted geometry, while lowercase introduces sturdier, somewhat simplified structures that still preserve the clipped-terminal motif. Numerals follow the same chamfered construction, producing a cohesive set well-suited to large, impact-driven setting.
