A condensed, right-slanted slab serif with heavy, block-like stems and square-ended terminals. Serifs are sturdy and mostly unbracketed, reading as rectangular feet and caps that reinforce a poster-ready, high-impact texture. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be compact, giving lines a dense, rhythmic color, while the tall lowercase presence keeps mixed-case settings prominent. Numerals match the same sturdy, squared construction for consistent, headline-forward texture.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, and bold branding where condensed width and strong slabs help maximize impact in limited space. It can also work for short pull quotes, packaging callouts, and signage-style applications where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a utilitarian, industrial edge. Its slanted stance and dense rhythm evoke vintage display typography and sports/editorial urgency, making it feel confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in tight horizontal space, combining a slanted, energetic posture with robust slab serifs for strong recognition and a classic display feel.
Uppercase forms emphasize verticality and compression, while the lowercase maintains strong presence and legibility at larger sizes. The design’s straight cuts and rectangular serifs create a crisp, mechanical finish that holds up well in bold, high-contrast layout situations.
