A heavy, right-slanted serif with chunky slab-like terminals and pronounced internal cut-ins that read like notches or ink-traps at joins. Strokes show clear modulation, with thicker stems and thinner connecting strokes, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. The letterforms mix broad, rounded bowls (notably in O/Q and lowercase e) with sharp, flattened serifs and beveled-looking corners, creating a compressed, forward-driving rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and display-oriented, with a consistent slant and strong baseline presence.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as sports identities, team marks, event posters, bold editorial headers, and apparel or merchandise graphics. It can also work on packaging or signage where a strong, energetic voice is needed and the notched details can be appreciated at display sizes.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and nostalgic, evoking classic athletic lettering and mid-century advertising. Its angled stance and chunky details give it a competitive, action-forward feel, while the notched joins add a distinctive, engineered character that reads as bold and promotional.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional slab-serif backbone with an italic, speed-oriented posture and distinctive notched join details, producing a display face that feels both rugged and dynamic. The goal seems to be high-impact readability with a memorable texture for branding and headline use.
In text, the internal notches and deep joins become a defining texture, adding visual noise that can be striking at larger sizes but busy when tightly set. Round letters (O, Q, G) and the strong diagonal stress stand out, and the distinctive cuts in letters like M, N, W, and x-height characters create a lively, uneven sparkle across lines.
