A heavy, angular serif with chiseled, octagonal contours and frequent beveled corners. Stems and arms are thick and largely monoline, with crisp, straight terminals that often resolve into small wedge-like serifs or notched cuts rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and geometric (notably in O/0 and B), and joins stay sharp, giving the design a carved, emblematic silhouette. Uppercase forms feel broad and architectural, while lowercase keeps the same faceted logic with sturdy bowls and a pronounced, pointed-shoulder rhythm.
Well suited for headlines and short display settings where its faceted silhouettes and strong serifs can read clearly. It works especially well for sports-themed branding, badges and wordmarks, event posters, and packaging that aims for a vintage or heritage-forward presence.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, evoking classic athletic lettering and old-style display printing. Its hard edges and cut-in details add a rugged, heritage feel that reads as confident and slightly theatrical rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold massing and a consistent chiseled geometry, combining traditional serif cues with a more decorative, cut-stone construction. The goal seems to be instant recognizability in display contexts, with forms optimized for emblematic, all-caps statements and sturdy numerals.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) retain the same beveled construction, producing a consistent, machined look across the set. Numerals are similarly squared and sign-like, with the 0 sharing the octagonal bowl and the 8 built from two compact geometric counters. Spacing and color appear dense and even, making the font most effective when allowed some breathing room at larger sizes.
