A condensed, right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, unbracketed terminals and a largely even stroke presence that reads as monoline at display sizes. Forms are built from squared curves and chamfer-like joins, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel and lending letters a mechanical, constructed rhythm. Serifs are short and blocky, attached squarely to stems; curves are tightened and slightly squared off, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, Y, and Z) are steep and crisp. Numerals are tall and compact, matching the condensed proportions and maintaining strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display roles where compact width and high impact are desirable, such as sports branding, event posters, headline systems, product packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can also work for short subheads or labels when a fast, industrial tone is needed, but its dense texture and tight forms are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, combining a sporty, scoreboard-like urgency with a retro-industrial edge. Its italic slant adds motion and urgency, making the texture feel fast, punchy, and competitive rather than formal or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with blocky slab terminals and an italic slant to suggest speed and strength. Its squared, engineered shapes aim for a contemporary athletic/industrial voice with a retro flavor.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, compressed width and a clear forward slant, creating a strong directional flow in text. The squared terminals and tight apertures favor bold, high-contrast applications, while the compact spacing and condensed silhouettes create dense, impactful word shapes.
