A condensed, heavy oblique serif with broad, low-contrast strokes and pronounced flared terminals that read like tapered wedge serifs. Curves are compact and slightly squared, with tight internal counters and a rhythmic forward slant that keeps the texture dense. Stroke endings often pinch or notch subtly, especially where curves meet stems, adding a crisp, cut-in detail to the otherwise solid silhouettes. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, athletic proportions, producing a strong, uniform color at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, packaging titles, and logo wordmarks. It can work for punchy subheads and callouts where dense, slanted text is desired, but its tight counters and strong weight favor display sizes over long passages.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a distinct vintage sports and headline feel. Its forward lean and compressed width suggest speed and impact, while the flared endings lend a classic, editorial edge rather than a purely industrial look.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining a fast oblique stance with flared serif endings for a distinctive, vintage-leaning display voice. The subtle notches and tapered terminals add character and separation at large sizes while preserving a bold, poster-ready texture.
The design maintains consistent slant and weight across cases, with lowercase forms that stay sturdy and compact. The italics are integral to the letterforms (not merely skewed), and the narrow set heightens the sense of urgency and emphasis in continuous text.
