A condensed, right-slanted slab serif with sturdy, even stroke weight and a squared, chamfered construction throughout. Corners are consistently clipped into octagonal facets, giving rounds like O/0 and C a hard-edged, engineered feel. Serifs read as thick, blocky slabs with flat terminals, and the rhythm stays compact with tight interior counters and upright stems that lean as a unit. Numerals and capitals are especially geometric and rigid, while lowercase maintains the same angular logic with compact bowls and short, sturdy arms.
Well suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, team or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits signage or display lines where a condensed footprint and strong, faceted shapes help maintain presence at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, combining a sporty urgency with a workmanlike, industrial toughness. Its slanted posture and sharp facets lend a sense of motion and grit, while the heavy slabs and condensed width evoke vintage signage and athletic lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using a consistent chamfered geometry and heavy slabs to produce a tough, fast, display-first voice. Its controlled slant and squared detailing suggest a focus on branding and headline settings rather than long-form text.
The chamfering is a defining motif, repeating at joins, corners, and curved approximations to keep the texture crisp and uniform. The design favors strong silhouettes over generous counters, which helps it feel punchy and logo-ready, especially in all-caps settings.
