A condensed, right-leaning slab serif with tightly packed proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with crisp, angular joins and octagonal corners that give many forms a cut, machined feel. The serifs read as blunt slabs and wedges, often integrated into the stroke ends rather than delicately bracketed. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dense, producing a solid, high-impact word shape in running text.
Best suited to display settings where compact width and bold presence are assets: posters, sports or team branding, product marks, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for short subheads or labels when space is tight and a rugged, high-energy tone is desired.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian attitude with a distinctly sporty, poster-driven energy. Its angular slab details and forward slant suggest speed, strength, and a slightly vintage Americana/industrial tone rather than a refined editorial voice.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact in a narrow footprint, combining slab-like endings with a faceted, engineered geometry. The overall intent reads as a fast, forceful display face for bold messaging rather than extended text reading.
The design relies on sharp terminals and flattened curves, so letters like C, G, O, and S appear more faceted than round. The narrow set width and heavy weight create strong presence at large sizes, while smaller sizes may need extra tracking to avoid a crowded texture.
