A heavy, oblique serif with compact proportions and a strongly forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with corners frequently chamfered and subtly notched, creating an engineered, cut-metal look. Serifs read as small wedge-like terminals rather than long brackets, and several joins show ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen counters and improve separation at tight angles. The lowercase is compact with a tall x-height and short extenders, while round forms (o, e, q, 0) are squarish-oval with flattened sides that reinforce the angular rhythm.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports branding, event posters, product packaging, and bold editorial headlines where its oblique energy and angular detailing can carry the message. It can also work for team apparel or signage where a condensed, punchy texture is desirable.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and performance-oriented, combining a retro athletic flavor with a technical, machined edge. Its slanted silhouettes and clipped terminals suggest motion and confidence, making the texture feel energetic and purposeful.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, forward-moving display voice by combining wedge serif cues with industrial chamfers and tight, efficient counters. Its detailing suggests an emphasis on impact and rhythm at larger sizes, prioritizing a dynamic silhouette over quiet text neutrality.
The design leans on consistent diagonal stress and repeated chamfer motifs across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps the set feel cohesive in headlines. Numerals are sturdy and sporty, with simplified apertures and flattened curves that match the letterforms’ squared rounding.
