A condensed, forward-leaning slab-serif with a chiseled, angular construction and tightly controlled spacing. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with crisp corners and flat slab terminals that often taper into small wedge-like notches, creating a cut-metal feel. Counters are compact and somewhat squared, and the overall rhythm is punchy and vertical despite the slant, with energetic diagonals in forms like A, K, V, W, and X. Numerals share the same compact, faceted geometry, keeping the texture dense and headline-oriented.
Best suited to impactful display settings such as sports identities, event posters, team apparel, product packaging, and bold editorial headers. It also works well for badges, labels, and short calls-to-action where a dense, energetic texture is desirable.
The font projects speed and force, balancing a sporty, competitive tone with a hard-edged, machined toughness. Its sharp slabs and faceted joins give it a no-nonsense, poster-ready voice that reads as confident, gritty, and slightly vintage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining sturdy slab details with an italicized, kinetic stance. Its faceted, cut-in shapes suggest a goal of looking engineered and aggressive while staying highly legible at large sizes.
Distinctive wedge-like serifs and clipped terminals create strong directional cues, especially in uppercase. The condensed proportions and tight apertures produce a dark, continuous typographic color that favors short bursts of text over extended reading.
