A condensed, oblique slab serif with sturdy, unbracketed serifs and a compact footprint. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, giving the letterforms a steady, low-contrast color on the page. Terminals are squared and blunt, with broad slab feet that read strongly in caps and numerals. The italic slant is consistent and mechanical rather than calligraphic, and the overall rhythm feels tight and upright despite the forward angle.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short bursts of copy where the condensed width and strong slab serifs can create impact. It works well for sports and event branding, posters, packaging labels, and editorial layouts that want a classic, industrial flavor with forward motion.
The tone is punchy and energetic with a vintage, editorial edge. The heavy slabs add a confident, workmanlike feel, while the oblique stance suggests motion and urgency—suited to attention-getting headlines rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, condensed slab voice with a consistent oblique slant—prioritizing impact, density, and a robust, no-nonsense texture. Its squared serifs and even stroke treatment aim for clarity and punch in display settings.
Caps present a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a compact, slightly compressed texture that stays legible at display sizes. Numerals and round letters keep a firm, squared-off presence, reinforcing the font’s sturdy, utilitarian character.
