A forceful italic slab-serif with compact, blocky letterforms and decisively squared serifs. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with crisp, flat terminals and frequent angled cut-ins that give counters a chiseled, mechanical feel. The overall slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the shapes lean on straight segments and right angles more than curves, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm in text. Figures are similarly squarish and bold, with simplified geometry that keeps them visually aligned with the caps.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong, condensed-in-feel italic voice is needed. It fits sports identities, industrial or automotive themes, and any layout that benefits from bold, squared slabs and a sense of motion.
The tone is tough, energetic, and workmanlike, evoking sports branding, machinery, and mid-century display lettering. Its italic drive adds speed and impact, while the squared slabs and cut corners keep the mood disciplined and no-nonsense rather than playful.
The likely intention is to deliver an impactful italic slab-serif optimized for display: high presence, quick readability at large sizes, and a distinctive squared, cut-corner detailing that differentiates it from softer, more traditional slabs.
The design reads best at display sizes where the internal corners and angular notches remain distinct; at smaller sizes the dense weight and tight apertures can visually fill in. The texture in paragraphs is emphatic and dark, with strong horizontal/vertical presence despite the italic angle.
