A condensed italic slab serif with chunky, square-ended serifs and firm, blocky stroke endings. The letterforms lean noticeably forward, with tight interior counters and a compact rhythm that keeps lines dense and energetic. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, while corners are crisp and geometric; several joins show slightly beveled or wedge-like shaping that adds snap without introducing true contrast. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, rectangular construction, creating a cohesive, emphatic texture in both display and short-text settings.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where a condensed, forceful voice is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and brand marks that benefit from sturdy slabs and an energetic slant, especially in short phrases and punchy copy.
The overall tone feels assertive and kinetic—part sports headline, part industrial label—combining toughness with forward motion. Its compact width and strong slabs project confidence and urgency, giving copy a punchy, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a strong slab-serif backbone with a forward-leaning italic to suggest speed and determination. Its square terminals and compact proportions aim for high visibility and a rugged, utilitarian presence.
Spacing appears designed for tight set text, with narrow sidebearings and a consistent, compressed cadence. The italic slant is pronounced but controlled, helping long words read as a single directional gesture while maintaining clear silhouettes.
