A heavy, oblique serif with compact, block-built letterforms and sharply chamfered corners. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, and the terminals resolve into short wedge-like serifs and clipped edges rather than flowing curves. Counters tend toward squarish shapes (notably in O, D, P, and numerals), while diagonals are crisp and steep, giving the design a forward-leaning rhythm. Spacing reads sturdy and headline-oriented, with consistent heft and a slightly condensed, engineered silhouette in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display contexts such as sports identities, team apparel graphics, event posters, bold editorial headers, and impactful packaging. It will also work well for short, emphatic UI or signage phrases where a forceful, directional look is desired.
The overall tone is bold and competitive, with a vintage athletic and industrial flavor. Its angular cuts and forward slant convey speed and urgency, while the serifed construction adds a traditional, authoritative edge.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke classic athletic lettering and hard-edged sign typography through wedge serifs, chamfered cuts, and a strong oblique stance, prioritizing impact and a fast, energetic texture over delicate detail.
The design relies on repeated chamfers and straight segments to unify the set, producing strong word-shapes and high impact at display sizes. Numerals match the same squared, clipped construction, supporting uniformity in scores, dates, and short numeric strings.
