This typeface is a right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, blocky serifs and compact proportions. Strokes are firm and fairly even, with subtle contrast and crisp, squared-off shaping at many terminals. Serifs read as bold slabs with slight bracketing, and several joins show chiseled, wedge-like cut-ins that add texture and a slightly mechanical rhythm. The overall spacing feels energetic and a bit variable across glyphs, giving the line a lively, forward-driven cadence rather than a strictly uniform pattern.
It performs best in short to medium-length display settings where impact and motion matter—headlines, posters, sports or team-style branding, and punchy packaging callouts. In editorial layouts it can add a forceful, retro-leaning accent for titles, pull quotes, and section openers rather than continuous text.
The tone is punchy and athletic, pairing a vintage print sensibility with a confident, poster-ready presence. Its italic slant and squared slabs create momentum and urgency, while the heavy serifs keep it grounded and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, energetic italic voice that combines slab-serif solidity with sharp, squared details for high-visibility display typography. The angled stance and chiseled terminal treatment suggest a focus on speed, emphasis, and memorable silhouettes.
Uppercase forms present a strong, sign-like silhouette, while the lowercase keeps the same rugged, angular logic with distinctive hooks and cut terminals. Numerals are sturdy and readable, with the same forward slant and slabbed finishing, reinforcing a cohesive display texture.
