A sharply stylized serif with an oblique stance and a predominantly angular construction. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, ending in pointed, wedge-like terminals and flared serif cues that read more as cut facets than traditional bracketed serifs. Counters are tight and often squared or trapezoidal, with frequent notches and chamfered joins that create a zig-zag rhythm across words. Uppercase forms feel slightly compressed and muscular, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright internal structure despite the slant, producing a distinctive, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where its angular rhythm can read as intentional styling. It can also support sports or event graphics and bold editorial callouts, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the notches and wedge terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is assertive and fast, evoking retro display typography with a sporty, action-forward attitude. The sharp cuts and faceted detailing add a slightly industrial, techno edge, giving the face a dramatic, attention-grabbing presence.
The type appears designed to modernize classic serif display cues through aggressive, faceted detailing and an italicized forward lean. Its aim is to deliver maximum impact and motion, prioritizing a distinctive silhouette and punchy word shapes over quiet neutrality.
The design relies on strong diagonals and clipped curves, which increases visual bite but can make dense copy feel busy. Numerals and capitals carry the most character, and the italicized posture amplifies the sense of motion.
