A condensed, forward-leaning slab serif with unbracketed, blocky terminals and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation while maintaining a sturdy, poster-like presence, with mostly straight-sided forms, squared-off curves, and sharp internal corners. Counters are narrow and apertures tend to be tight, giving the design a dense texture in words. Numerals are tall and assertive, matching the caps’ rigid, mechanical stance.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight but impact is needed—headlines, posters, and campaign lockups in narrow columns. The condensed build also fits sports branding, event graphics, and bold packaging systems that benefit from a fast, industrial voice. It can work for short bursts of text, but its dense counters and strong slabbing are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone reads fast, tough, and attention-seeking, like lettering meant for speed and impact. Its compressed proportions and aggressive slant evoke retro athletics, motorsport graphics, and industrial signage, with a slightly theatrical, hard-edged attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a compressed footprint, combining slab-serif sturdiness with an energetic slant for motion and urgency. It prioritizes bold silhouette, strong vertical rhythm, and high-contrast punch for branding and headline-driven typography.
The family relies on strong vertical stems and crisp slab endings, which create a pronounced striped rhythm at display sizes. The oblique angle is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines feel dynamic rather than static.
