A condensed, heavy italic slab-serif with block-like construction and sharply cut, angled corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as short, squared slabs that often finish with flat or clipped ends. The letterforms lean forward with a brisk rhythm, combining straight-sided verticals and faceted curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) that feel chamfered rather than fully round. Counters are compact and rectangular-leaning, and the overall fit is tight, reinforcing a dense, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are desirable—sports branding, team marks, event posters, and bold editorial headlines. It can also work on rugged packaging or signage where a condensed, high-energy voice helps text cut through at larger sizes.
The tone is sporty and forceful, with a familiar varsity/scoreboard energy that also hints at machinery and signage. Its forward slant and hard edges give it urgency and momentum, while the slab structure adds a sturdy, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, energetic italic slab with condensed proportions, optimized for short phrases and titles that need a strong, athletic-meets-industrial personality.
Uppercase forms emphasize straight segments and clipped terminals, while lowercase stays consistent in weight and slant, preserving a unified, poster-like color. Numerals are similarly blocky and sturdy, built to match the faceted curves and slab endings of the letters.
