A tightly condensed, right-leaning slab serif with strong, squared-off terminals and a largely even stroke weight. Letterforms are built from angular geometry with clipped corners and flat cuts, producing a compact, vertical rhythm and prominent stems. Counters are narrow and often squared, and the overall texture reads dense and high-contrast against the page due to the heavy, blocky silhouette and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short display text where a compact width and strong presence are needed. It works well for posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, product packaging, and wayfinding or signage that benefits from a condensed, high-impact voice. Use larger sizes or generous tracking for longer lines to prevent the dense texture from feeling crowded.
The font projects a punchy, utilitarian energy that feels engineered and performance-oriented. Its condensed slanted stance and hard-edged slabs suggest speed and force, while the squared cuts add a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and display lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a slanted display stance with squared slab details for a forceful, structured look. Its consistent stroke weight and clipped geometry emphasize clarity and punch over delicacy, aiming for attention-grabbing titling and branded statements.
Capitals are particularly commanding in mass, while the lowercase remains narrow and upright enough to stay legible in short runs. Numerals follow the same condensed, slabbed construction, helping the set feel consistent for titling that mixes text and figures.
