A heavy, forward-leaning slab serif with crisp, chamfered corners that give many strokes an octagonal, beveled profile. Stems and arms are blocky and low-contrast, with squared-off slab serifs and frequent diagonal cuts on terminals that keep the texture sharp rather than soft. The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, producing a strong directional rhythm, while the spacing and proportions stay relatively compact and sturdy for headline use.
Best suited to display settings where its slabs and angled cuts can be appreciated—headlines, posters, sports and team branding, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a strong, italicized emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, evoking athletic and industrial lettering with a slightly vintage, woodtype-inspired edge. Its angular cuts and thick slabs read as confident and no-nonsense, with an assertive, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended to blend slab-serif solidity with an italic, high-impact stance, using chamfered terminals to create a crisp, machined silhouette. The consistent faceted detailing suggests a goal of strong recognizability at large sizes and clear, rugged personality in branding contexts.
The chamfering is a defining motif: corners are clipped on bowls, shoulders, and joins, which creates a faceted, engineered feel even in curved letters. Numerals share the same squared, cut-corner construction, helping the font maintain a consistent, sign-like voice across alphanumerics.
