A heavy, right-slanted display serif with flared wedge terminals and subtly chamfered corners. The letterforms are built from compact, squared-off bowls and straightened curves, giving counters a rectangular feel (notably in C, D, O, and Q) while keeping overall stroke modulation minimal. Joins often show small notches and cut-ins that read like ink traps or stencil-like shaping, reinforcing a technical, engineered texture. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a single-storey a and g, short, squared shoulders, and a firm baseline presence; numerals are blocky and high-impact with simplified geometry.
Best suited to sports identities, event posters, bold editorial heads, and branding where a compact, energetic italic is needed. It also works well for short packaging statements and logotypes that benefit from strong silhouette recognition and a retro-industrial flavor.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, mixing vintage athletic signage with a slightly industrial, machined edge. Its slant and dense weight push it toward motion and urgency, while the squared geometry and wedge terminals keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that merges classic serif cues with squared, modernized geometry and a dynamic slant. Its cut-ins and flared terminals suggest a goal of staying legible under heavy weight while adding distinctive texture for branding-forward typography.
Spacing appears designed for display impact: forms are wide enough to stay open, but the dense black mass and tight internal counters make it happiest at larger sizes. The italic angle is consistent across cases and figures, and the sharp, flared terminals help separate strokes in bold text blocks.
