A condensed italic slab-serif with a pronounced forward slant and compact letterfit. Strokes are heavy and confident, with moderate contrast and sturdy, bracketed serifs that keep the silhouette crisp at display sizes. A continuous inline cut runs through the main strokes, creating an engraved, two-tone effect and adding extra rhythm inside counters and verticals. Curves are taut and slightly squared-off in places, and the overall construction favors tall proportions and strong vertical momentum.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, event graphics, and editorial headlines where the inline detail can be appreciated. It can also work well for bold wordmarks, team or club-style branding, and packaging labels that benefit from a classic engraved accent.
The inline carving and italic compression give the face a punchy, vintage showcard feel—part sign-painter, part athletic headline. It reads assertive and theatrical, with a sense of speed and swagger that feels suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while adding sophistication through an internal inline cut, echoing engraved and showcard traditions. Its italic stance and slab-serifs emphasize speed and emphasis, making it a natural choice for prominent, characterful typography.
The inline treatment is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a distinctive shimmer in longer strings. Numerals follow the same condensed, italicized stance, helping headlines and pricing or numbering systems keep a unified look.
