A compact, forward-leaning slab-serif design with heavy, block-like strokes and flat, squared terminals. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with a strong vertical rhythm, while the italic construction introduces brisk diagonals in characters like N, V, W, and the numerals. Counters are relatively small and sturdy, and joins feel reinforced, giving the shapes a dense, punchy texture. Serifs read as short rectangular slabs that reinforce the baseline and cap line without adding much contrast.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as sports identities, event posters, product packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works for short editorial elements like headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, and promotional banners where a compact, assertive voice is needed.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like confidence. Its squared slabs and compressed stance give it a workmanlike, industrial edge, while the italic slant adds motion and urgency that feels at home in competitive or promotional contexts.
This font appears designed to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, combining chunky slab-serifs with an italicized, fast-moving structure. The emphasis is on a strong silhouette and a dense typographic color that remains readable and commanding at display sizes.
The bold texture and tight internal spaces favor larger sizes where the strong silhouette can do the work. In longer lines of text it will read as intentionally loud and condensed, with a dark color and a pronounced forward drive.
