A bold italic serif with sharp, wedge-like bracketed serifs and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes show pronounced contrast, with thick stems paired with finer joins and terminals, and many letters feature chamfered or faceted corners that create a slightly angular, cut-in look. The caps are compact and sturdy with tight internal counters, while the lowercase is similarly dense, with a firm baseline rhythm and a conventional, moderate x-height. Numerals follow the same italic, high-impact construction, keeping verticals strong and terminals crisp for a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display settings where impact and motion matter—headlines, posters, sports-related branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short editorial callouts or deck titles, where its high-contrast italic texture remains legible while delivering a strong stylistic signal.
The overall tone feels sporty and assertive, with a retro athletic and headline-driven energy. Its sharp serifs and slanted momentum give it a dynamic, competitive character, while the sturdy weight adds a confident, no-nonsense presence.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation pushed into a punchy, italic display voice, emphasizing speed, strength, and crisp detail. The faceted terminals and wedge serifs suggest an aim for memorable, brand-forward typography that holds up at larger sizes.
Spacing reads a bit tight and the dark color builds quickly in text, producing a strong, compact texture. The combination of faceted corners and pointed terminals gives the face a distinctive, engraved or varsity-adjacent flavor without becoming overly decorative.
