A compact, right-leaning slab serif with thick, sturdy stems and a pronounced forward slant. The serifs are blocky and largely unbracketed, with flat, squared terminals that read strongly at display sizes. Curves are tight and slightly squared off in places, giving letters a robust, engineered feel, while counters remain fairly open for the weight. The rhythm is brisk and compressed, with short extenders and a consistent, forceful stroke presence across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where a strong, energetic voice is desirable. It works well for sports branding, event promotion, packaging callouts, and bold signage-style applications where compact width and high impact help maximize presence in limited space.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, evoking vintage sports and industrial signage while still feeling at home in modern headline typography. Its slanted posture adds momentum and urgency, making text feel active and forward-driving rather than formal or delicate.
Likely designed to deliver a high-impact, condensed italic slab voice that stays sturdy and legible while conveying motion. The squared slabs and heavy build prioritize authority and visibility, aiming for a classic, display-oriented style with a lively forward lean.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight proportions create a strong horizontal flow, with clear separation between vertical strokes and squared terminals. Numerals share the same compact, heavy construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings maintain an even, emphatic texture.
