A slanted, heavy serif display face built from angular, chamfered strokes and tight interior counters. The forms emphasize straight runs and clipped corners, with wedge-like terminals and subtle notch-like cut-ins that suggest ink traps at joins. Curves are largely faceted into polygonal segments (notably in C, O, and S), giving the alphabet a hard-edged, engineered rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel compact and blocky, while the lowercase echoes the same stencil-like geometry with sturdy stems and squared bowls; figures are similarly squared-off with octagonal counters and crisp diagonals.
Best suited to sports branding, headlines, posters, and merchandise where a strong, fast, vintage-leaning voice is needed. It can also work for product packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, mechanical edge, especially in short phrases, logos, and numeric-heavy compositions.
The overall tone is forceful and sporty, evoking vintage team lettering, motorsport graphics, and industrial signage. Its faceted construction and forward slant add speed and impact, reading as confident and slightly aggressive rather than delicate or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through weight, slant, and a chiseled serif construction, combining classic serif cues with a hard, faceted display geometry. The consistent chamfering and notched joins suggest a deliberate effort to keep counters open and add character under heavy stroke weight.
Spacing appears designed for display: the dense black shape and tight apertures hold together best at medium-to-large sizes. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the distinctive chamfers create a recognizable silhouette in both short words and numerals.
