A tightly condensed slab-serif with a pronounced forward slant and heavy, compact letterforms. Strokes are broadly even in weight, giving a solid, low-contrast silhouette, while the serifs are square and unbracketed, joining the stems with a crisp, machined feel. Counters are narrow and apertures tend to be tight, reinforcing a dense texture in words. The lowercase maintains a tall profile and the numerals follow the same condensed, sturdy construction for consistent color across mixed text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, and display typography where the condensed width helps pack words into tight spaces. It can also work well for sports branding, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a bold, industrial presence.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a speed-forward italic posture and a hard-edged, utilitarian voice. It suggests vintage athletic lettering and industrial labeling, projecting urgency and impact rather than softness or delicacy.
The design appears intended as a compact, attention-grabbing display slab that combines strong, square serifs with a fast italic slant to maximize impact in limited horizontal space.
The combination of extreme condensation and strong slabs creates high visual density, especially in longer lines, making spacing and line-length more critical for comfortable reading. The angled stance adds momentum, and the squared terminals keep the style disciplined and structured.
