A heavy, slanted serif with compact, angular construction and pronounced wedge-like serifs that often extend into sharp spurs. Strokes are broadly modulated but read mostly as robust, with crisp sheared terminals and occasional beak-like finishing that gives forms a carved, chiseled look. Counters are relatively tight and squared-off in places, while curves are restrained and pulled into faceted shapes. The overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with strong horizontal top edges and pointed details that create a punchy texture in headlines.
Best suited to large-scale applications such as headlines, poster typography, brand marks, and attention-grabbing labels where its sharp serifs and strong color can carry the design. It can also work for short editorial callouts or titles, but benefits from larger sizes and careful spacing rather than long passages.
The font projects a bold, forceful tone with a vintage display flavor, combining old-style athletic poster energy with a slightly gothic, engraved edge. Its sharp serifs and slanted stance add urgency and motion, making the voice feel confident and a bit confrontational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, slanted serif silhouette—prioritizing presence, motion, and a crafted, spurred detailing over quiet readability. Its faceted shapes and wedge serifs suggest a deliberate blend of traditional serif cues with a more aggressive display attitude.
In the sample text, the dense black color and tight internal spaces make it most effective when given generous size and breathing room. The numerals and capitals maintain the same spurred, angular language, supporting a consistent, logo-like presence across mixed text.
