A condensed, heavy italic slab serif with compact proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and even, with square, block-like slab serifs and flat terminals that keep counters relatively tight and shapes punchy. Curves are simplified and slightly squarish in places, while joins and shoulders stay sturdy and blunt, emphasizing a poster-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, weighty construction, with strong verticals and bold diagonals that hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short promotional copy where weight and slant can do the heavy lifting. It’s a strong fit for sports branding, bold packaging callouts, and signage that needs a condensed footprint with high visual impact.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a classic, no-nonsense flavor that reads as sporty and promotional. Its bold slabbing and pronounced slant suggest motion and impact, giving text a confident, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow width: a sturdy, slanted slab serif built for emphatic display typography. Its simplified shapes and squared slabs prioritize immediacy and recognizability over delicacy, making it feel optimized for bold messaging.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive rightward momentum. Spacing appears tuned for display—dense enough to feel compact, but with clear silhouettes that remain recognizable in short phrases and titles.
