A condensed, forward-leaning serif with crisp, angular terminals and a largely monolinear-to-moderate contrast structure. Stems are sturdy and slightly rectangular in feeling, with chamfered corners and squared counters that create a machined, cut-from-metal impression. Serifs are small and sharp, often wedge-like, and many joins and apertures show tight, notched shaping that reads like subtle ink-trap detailing. The overall rhythm is compact and energetic, with tall proportions, tight internal spaces, and numerals that match the same hard-edged, slanted construction.
Best suited to display work where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—sports identities, team or event graphics, posters, bold editorial openers, and packaging that benefits from a tough, engineered feel. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when space is tight, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the narrow counters and sharp details.
The tone is fast, tough, and purpose-built, mixing a vintage athletic sensibility with an industrial, engineered edge. Its italic slant and sharp serifs add urgency and motion, making the texture feel punchy and competitive rather than literary or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-energy serif look that evokes motion and strength while staying highly structured and uniform. The angular serifs and chamfered detailing suggest an aim toward a distinctive, industrial-leaning display style with a retro athletic flavor.
Uppercase forms appear especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic for a cohesive, display-oriented texture. The sharp corners and narrow counters create strong silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes, where the cut details become a defining character feature.
