A condensed italic slab serif with unbracketed, blocky serifs and tightly controlled, low-contrast strokes. The letterforms are tall and narrow, with squared-off terminals, compact apertures, and a forward-leaning rhythm that keeps lines feeling fast and efficient. Curves are restrained and slightly squared, while joins stay clean and angular, giving the overall texture a dense, uniform color in text. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed construction with sturdy, rectangular feet and consistent stroke endings.
Best suited to display roles where condensed, forward-leaning letterforms help fit more characters into a line while maintaining impact—posters, headlines, sports or team-style branding, packaging, and short signage. It can work for brief editorial callouts or subheads when a punchy, compact voice is needed.
The tone is brisk and purposeful, combining a sporty urgency with an industrial, workmanlike toughness. Its slanted stance and compact build read as energetic and assertive, while the slab details add a blunt, utilitarian confidence with a touch of retro signage character.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact italic voice that blends athletic momentum with sturdy slab-serif structure. Its simplified, low-contrast construction and squared terminals prioritize clarity and punch over delicacy, aiming for strong presence in bold, attention-driven typography.
Spacing appears relatively tight for a condensed design, which reinforces a compact, poster-like texture at larger sizes. The mix of squared curves and firm serifs creates strong alignment cues on baselines and caps, helping the design feel stable even while italic.
