A strongly condensed, forward-leaning slab serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a largely even stroke color. Counters are compact and vertically oriented, with rounded-rectangle forms in characters like O/0 and a generally tall, upright skeleton that’s sheared into an italic stance. Joins and endings are cut crisply, giving the shapes a machined look, while the narrow proportions and tight apertures create a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where impact and pace matter: headlines, posters, sports and automotive-style branding, packaging, and bold logotypes. It can work for short emphatic subheads, but the dense texture and tight counters suggest avoiding long body text or very small sizes.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, combining a retro display sensibility with a utilitarian, engineered feel. Its slanted, compressed rhythm reads as fast and competitive, suggesting motion and urgency while staying sturdy and grounded.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with sturdy slab terminals and an italic slant to communicate speed and strength. The consistent, squared finishing and compact interiors support a bold, sign-painter/industrial display role rather than a text-first one.
Capital forms maintain consistent narrow widths and strong vertical emphasis, and the numerals echo the same condensed geometry for cohesive headline setting. The italic angle is pronounced enough to add speed, and the slab terminals help keep letters distinct at larger sizes despite the tight internal spaces.
