An italic, slab-serif display face built from stout, mostly monoline strokes with sharply chamfered corners. Forms lean forward with a steady, mechanical rhythm, and many curves are rendered as faceted, octagonal shapes rather than smooth bowls. Serifs are blocky and square-ended, with flat terminals and frequent notches or step-ins that create a subtly stencil-like, cut-out feel. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with generous counters kept open by the angular construction and clear, high-contrast interior shapes.
This font is well suited to sports branding, event posters, headlines, and logo wordmarks that need a rugged, collegiate feel. It also works effectively for apparel graphics and packaging where an assertive, blocky italic can provide impact without relying on heavy stroke contrast.
The overall tone is bold and sporty, evoking varsity lettering and classic team graphics while keeping a hard-edged, industrial precision. The forward slant adds motion and urgency, giving headlines an energetic, competitive voice.
The design appears intended to translate classic athletic slab-serif lettering into a crisp, geometric system, emphasizing speed through the italic angle and toughness through faceted corners and square terminals.
Numerals and capitals share the same faceted geometry, producing a cohesive set that reads best when allowed room to breathe. The distinctive chamfers and squared-off joins create strong texture in lines of text, especially at larger sizes where the cut details become a defining feature.
