A tightly condensed, forward-leaning slab serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and square, unbracketed serifs. Letterforms are tall and compact, with a compressed internal space and a brisk rhythm that reads as engineered and streamlined. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the overall texture forms dense vertical stripes, supported by firm horizontal terminals and blocky feet.
Best suited to display roles where density and impact are desired: headlines, posters, bold branding, and compact title treatments. It can work well for sports, industrial, or retro-inspired packaging and signage where a strong, condensed italic presence helps maximize punch in limited horizontal space.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a poster-like punch and a hint of vintage display typography. Its compressed, slanted build suggests speed and urgency, making the voice feel bold, direct, and slightly industrial.
Designed to deliver maximum impact per line with a condensed, italicized silhouette and sturdy slab terminals. The emphasis appears to be on bold, energetic display typography that stays legible through strong shapes and consistent, squared-off detailing.
Counters are small for the weight, so dark areas connect visually into a solid mass at larger sizes, while the slab terminals keep edges crisp and mechanical. Numerals match the condensed, italicized stance, reinforcing a cohesive, headline-oriented system.
