A tightly condensed, right-slanted slab-serif with squared-off terminals and a strong, blocky build. Strokes are heavy with modest contrast, and the overall drawing favors straight segments, crisp corners, and slightly rounded interior curves that keep counters compact. Serifs read as sturdy, flat slabs that reinforce a mechanical rhythm, while the narrow proportions create a tall, fast cadence in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared logic, maintaining a consistent texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display work where compact width and strong presence are assets—headlines, posters, event and sports branding, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also work for short logo wordmarks or badges where a condensed, high-impact, kinetic look is desired.
The typeface projects speed and impact, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its condensed, slanted stance suggests motion and performance, while the hard-edged slabs add an industrial, retro display flavor. Overall it feels punchy and directional rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a slanted, performance-oriented stance with sturdy slab detailing for a rugged, mechanical finish. Its consistent, squared terminal language aims for clear recognition and strong texture in large-format typography.
In the text sample, the font forms a dense, high-contrast silhouette that holds together well at larger sizes, with tight internal spaces and a pronounced vertical emphasis. The squareness of terminals and the consistent slant help maintain a uniform, poster-like texture across mixed-case settings and numbers.
