A heavy, forward-slanted serif with a compact, blocky build and strongly chamfered corners. Letterforms are constructed from broad strokes with minimal modulation, using small wedge-like spurs and notched cuts that create a faceted silhouette. Curves are tightened into polygonal forms (notably in C/O/Q), and joins often terminate in angled beaks that reinforce the directional, italic rhythm. Spacing is moderately tight, and the overall texture reads dense and punchy in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact text: sports identities, event posters, promotional headlines, and packaging where a rugged, fast italic voice is desirable. It can also work for badges, labels, and apparel graphics, especially when set at larger sizes where the notches and chamfers remain clear.
The design projects speed and impact, combining a retro, sign-painted toughness with an athletic, headline-driven urgency. Its sharp corners and machined notches add an industrial edge, making the tone feel bold, competitive, and slightly aggressive rather than refined or literary.
The font appears designed to deliver a dynamic, all-caps-forward display presence by combining bold massing with italic momentum and decorative, chiseled detailing. The consistent use of chamfered corners and spurred terminals suggests an intention to evoke vintage athletic lettering and hard-edged signage while staying highly legible in headline use.
Caps carry the strongest personality with squared counters and clipped terminals, while the lowercase stays sturdy and upright in structure but inherits the same faceted cuts and spurred ends. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with prominent notches and flat platforms that help them match the lettering in display settings.
