A compact, right-leaning serif with a dense, forward-driven silhouette. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with crisp joins and tapered, flared terminals that read as subtly bracketed serifs rather than slabs. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed or semi-closed forms, giving the letters a sturdy, poster-like color. The uppercase is tall and compressed with squared shoulders and rounded corners, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward construction and a moderate x-height that supports clarity at display sizes. Numerals match the condensed rhythm and maintain the same firm, slightly squared curvature.
Best used for headlines and short bursts of text where its condensed, forceful rhythm can create impact—such as posters, event graphics, sports identities, packaging titles, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work in short paragraphs at larger sizes, but the tight counters and dense color suggest prioritizing display settings over extended body copy.
The overall tone is energetic and emphatic, combining a vintage, poster-era feel with a sporty, action-oriented slant. Its compact proportions and hard-edged detailing create a sense of urgency and strength, suited to messaging that needs to feel punchy and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, pairing a forward-leaning stance with flared serif cues to evoke classic display typography. Its construction emphasizes strong word shapes and fast visual momentum for branding and editorial titling.
The set shows consistent narrowing across caps, lowercase, and figures, with prominent vertical emphasis and a steady baseline presence. The oblique angle is uniform and contributes more to motion than to calligraphic contrast, keeping the texture cohesive in longer lines of display text.
