A compact, forward-slanted slab serif with heavy, block-like stems and blunt, squared-off terminals. The letterforms are tightly proportioned with a condensed footprint and a strong, even color on the page, keeping stroke modulation minimal. Serifs read as thick, rectangular slabs that reinforce the baseline and cap line, while counters are relatively small and sturdy. Overall spacing feels assertive and packed, producing a dense rhythm that favors impact over delicacy.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, mastheads, product packaging, and bold signage where condensed width and strong slabs help maximize presence in limited space. It can also work for short, emphatic UI labels or pull quotes when impact and a rugged tone are desired, rather than long-form reading.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a brisk, sporty slant and a hard-edged, workmanlike texture. It suggests signage, team branding, and promotional typography where urgency and confidence matter more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, space-efficient slab serif voice with a forward motion, combining sturdy rectangular detailing with a condensed silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
The italic construction appears more like an oblique push, maintaining rigid, squared geometry rather than cursive calligraphic flow. Numerals are similarly weighty and compact, matching the alphabet’s punch and maintaining a consistent, poster-friendly texture.
