A compact, strongly slanted slab-serif with heavy, square-cut terminals and a tightly constructed silhouette. Strokes are broadly uniform, with minimal modulation, and corners tend to resolve into crisp angles rather than soft curves. The serifs read as blunt, unbracketed slabs that lock into the stems and reinforce a sturdy, mechanical rhythm. Counters are relatively small and squared-off, and the overall spacing feels tight and forward-leaning, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and lines.
This font performs best in short-to-medium display settings where strong emphasis is needed—sports identities, event posters, bold editorial headlines, and packaging or signage that benefits from a condensed, energetic presence. It can also work for logos and badges where the slab structure helps maintain legibility under strong stylization.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and urgency. Its blocky slabs and angular construction add a rugged, workmanlike character that feels retro-competitive—well suited to bold statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, combining heavy slab terminals with a pronounced slant for momentum. Its squared, low-modulation construction prioritizes robustness and a clear, athletic display voice over delicate detail.
The uppercase set appears designed for impact, with broad shoulders and firm baseline anchoring, while the lowercase maintains the same assertive angle and compact counters for consistency. Numerals are similarly squared and sturdy, matching the headline-oriented voice and keeping forms clear at display sizes.
