A condensed, right-leaning slab-serif with heavy, softened terminals and a carved inline that creates a chiseled, two-tone effect inside the strokes. The letterforms show sturdy verticals, compact counters, and a rhythmic, poster-like texture with slightly flared feet and bracketed slab serifs. Curves are tight and controlled (notably in C/O/S), while diagonals in A/V/W/X feel robust and stable. The inline cut follows the stroke flow consistently, giving the face a dimensional, engraved look rather than a flat solid.
Works best in large sizes for posters, headlines, and prominent titling where the inline engraving can be appreciated. It suits sports branding, vintage-inspired logos, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a bold, condensed, high-impact presence.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, evoking vintage signage, athletic wordmarks, and old-style display lettering. The italic slant and compressed build add urgency and speed, while the inline detailing contributes a classic, crafted feel that reads as both nostalgic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended as a statement display face that combines a heavy slab-serif base with an inline engraving to add depth and heritage. Its compressed proportions and forward slant suggest it is meant to communicate speed and confidence while retaining a classic sign-painter or showcard sensibility.
Spacing appears tuned for display: the compressed set and strong internal cutouts can visually darken in longer lines, while the inline helps keep large sizes from feeling too heavy. Numerals share the same compact, slanted construction, supporting cohesive headline and poster compositions.
