A condensed, right-leaning slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a compact footprint. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with crisp chamfered corners that create a slightly faceted, engineered look. Counters are tight and apertures tend toward closed forms, reinforcing a dense, punchy texture. The numerals and capitals read sturdy and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps a consistent, workmanlike rhythm with short extenders and firm, blocky finishing strokes.
Best suited to display work where impact and compact width matter—sports identities, event posters, assertive headlines, labels, and bold wayfinding-style graphics. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or UI badges when given enough size and spacing to preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is sporty and industrial, with a retro signage flavor. Its steep slant and hard-edged slabs give it speed and urgency, while the condensed proportions keep it loud and economical. The result feels practical and no-nonsense, suited to bold statements rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, forceful voice in a tight measure, combining condensed italics with hard, unbracketed slabs for a rugged, athletic presence. The chamfered detailing suggests an effort to evoke stamped metal, varsity lettering, or industrial marking while staying clean and contemporary.
The faceting and squared-off joins create strong horizontal and vertical accents, helping the type hold together in all-caps settings. At smaller sizes the dense interior spaces may call for extra tracking, while at display sizes the angular detailing becomes a key part of the personality.
