A tightly condensed, right-leaning slab-serif with heavy, uniform stroke weight and square-cut, unbracketed serifs. The letterforms are tall and compact with narrow counters, producing a dense vertical rhythm and a strong forward slant. Terminals and joins are crisp and mechanical, with a slightly squared, poster-like construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short display settings where impact and momentum matter: headlines, posters, sports and team branding, bold packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for compact labels or interface accents when set with extra spacing to keep counters from clogging at smaller sizes.
The overall tone feels forceful and energetic, evoking classic athletic lettering and mid-century display typography. Its steep oblique stance and hard-edged slabs give it a confident, no-nonsense presence that reads as bold and action-oriented rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a sturdy, utilitarian slab-serif voice. The pronounced oblique angle and square serifs suggest an intention to convey speed, strength, and a retro-industrial character for display typography.
In the sample lines the condensed proportions and tight internal space make the texture heavy, especially in longer words; it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing. The numerals and capitals share the same upright, engineered feel, helping the style remain cohesive in headlines and short bursts of text.
