A very heavy, forward-slanted serif with compact, aerodynamic letterforms and a distinctly chiseled silhouette. Strokes are low-contrast and blocky, but corners are frequently cut back into sharp facets, creating triangular terminals and wedge-like serifs. Several joins show small triangular cut-ins that read like ink-trap details, and counters are tight with squared-off internal shapes, giving the face a dense, mechanical texture. Overall spacing and rhythm feel built for impact, with a slightly compressed, sign-painted solidity rather than delicate refinement.
Best suited to display work where weight and motion are assets: sports and team branding, event posters, punchy headlines, and logos that need an aggressive slant. It can also work on packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, high-impact typographic voice, especially at larger sizes where the angular detailing stays clear.
The tone is energetic and forceful, projecting speed and competitiveness. Its sharp facets and wedge serifs evoke retro athletic branding and industrial signage, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as bold and kinetic rather than elegant.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with a modern, performance-driven silhouette—using wedge serifs, clipped corners, and dense proportions to maximize impact and convey speed. The repeated faceting and cut-ins suggest a deliberate strategy to keep large black shapes crisp and lively in bold display settings.
The italic angle is consistent and the faceting repeats across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, keeping a unified “carved” motif. The numerals follow the same chunky construction with clipped corners, supporting strong presence in short numeric strings and badges.
