A heavy, oblique display serif with sharply cut, angular terminals and wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Strokes are blocky with minimal contrast, and many joins and corners are faceted, giving a beveled, machined silhouette. The letterforms are compact with tight internal counters (notably in B, P, R, and 8), and the overall rhythm is punchy and forward-leaning. Numerals and capitals read especially sturdy, with squared bowls and flat-ish tops that emphasize a poster-like, built-from-planes construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, sports identities, event posters, and merchandise where its mass and slant can communicate motion. It also fits bold packaging, badges, and label-style graphics that benefit from a carved, industrial feel. For longer passages, it works most comfortably in large sizes or with generous spacing.
The tone is bold and energetic, leaning toward sports branding and vintage industrial signage. Its oblique slant and chiseled details add speed and attitude, while the dense black shapes project strength and immediacy. Overall it feels assertive and action-oriented rather than refined or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a fast, forward-leaning stance and rugged, faceted detailing. By combining sturdy, low-contrast construction with decorative wedge serifs and beveled cuts, it targets attention-grabbing display typography with a sporty, retro-industrial flavor.
The italic is constructed as a slanted roman rather than a calligraphic cursive, keeping straight-sided stems and angular corners. Small details—like the spurred terminals and notched cuts—create a decorative texture that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. In running text the weight and tight counters can make paragraphs feel dark, reinforcing its role as a display face.
