A heavy, right-slanted serif display with compact proportions and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are broad and low-contrast, with angular shaping throughout and frequent chamfered corners that create a cut-metal, beveled feel. Serifs are short and wedge-like rather than delicate, and many joins show sharp notches/ink-trap-style cut-ins that add texture and separation in dense shapes. Curves are minimized in favor of faceted bowls and squared apertures, producing a rugged, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, sports branding, logotypes, and promotional graphics where a bold, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for packaging, event titles, and short bursts of text in signage-style compositions, especially at larger sizes that showcase the angular cut details.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like punch. Its angled stance and chiseled details evoke retro athletics and industrial signage, reading as confident, loud, and action-oriented rather than refined or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a slanted, athletic posture while using faceted serifs and carved-in joins to create an industrial, machined personality. The emphasis is on strong silhouette and distinctive internal cut shapes for recognition in display settings.
The caps are especially blocky and uniform in color, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic, resulting in a consistent, emblematic texture. Numerals match the same clipped geometry, maintaining strong presence at display sizes where the notches and bevels become part of the character.
