A condensed, slanted slab-serif with heavy, block-like serifs and a compact set width that creates a tight, driving rhythm. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to finish in flat, squared shapes that emphasize a solid, engineered feel. The serif treatment is prominent and slightly bracketed, giving joins and corners a reinforced look, while counters stay relatively open for the width. Figures and capitals carry the same dense, forward-leaning construction, producing strong, uniform texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where impact and momentum are needed—headlines, posters, sports or team-style branding, and bold packaging statements. It can also work for short editorial deck lines or pull quotes where a condensed, slanted slab texture adds urgency without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a retro, sports-forward attitude. Its compact proportions and emphatic slabs read as confident and attention-seeking, leaning toward classic headline typography rather than delicate refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining a forward slant with reinforced slab serifs for a robust, high-energy display voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette, dense typographic color, and immediate legibility at larger sizes.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines feel continuous and fast-moving. Round letters are visibly tightened into more vertical ovals, and the heavy serifs add pronounced horizontal accents that can create a strong striped effect in large settings.
