A compact, right-slanted serif with chunky, squared-off curves and crisp, angular terminals. Strokes feel mechanically cut, with noticeable wedge-like feet and small spur serifs that sharpen the silhouette without becoming delicate. Counters are tight and often squared, and many joins show subtle notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that add bite at small sizes and emphasize the constructed, engineered look. The rhythm is steady and narrow, with strong vertical presence and a slightly boxy, aerodynamic profile across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports identities, product packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for subheads or pull quotes where a condensed, energetic serif is needed, but its tight counters and aggressive detailing make it less ideal for long-form text.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a vintage athletic and industrial signage flavor. Its slant and hard corners create a sense of speed and forward motion, while the sturdy serifs keep it grounded and authoritative. The result reads as confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif cues with a modern, engineered edge—using tight proportions, angled terminals, and cut-in joins to deliver speed and punch. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and compact word shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
Numerals follow the same squared, compact logic as the letters, keeping widths tight and forms sturdy for display settings. The italic is more of a purposeful slant than a calligraphic flow, reinforcing the constructed, sporty character rather than a handwritten one.
