A condensed, right-leaning serif with a heavy, compact silhouette and a crisp, graphic presence. Strokes stay broadly uniform with minimal modulation, while corners and terminals are aggressively cut, producing forked/spurred details and sharp wedge-like endings. The overall construction feels slightly sheared, with flattened joins and angled cuts that add texture without introducing delicate hairlines. Counters are tight and rhythm is dense, giving the face a strong, continuous “black” color in text while keeping letterforms distinct through their angular terminals.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, punchy headlines, sports and action-oriented branding, and packaging that needs a strong, condensed footprint. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a fast, energetic voice is desired, especially when paired with a calmer text face for body copy.
The tone is bold and kinetic, with a retro display attitude that reads as sporty and assertive. The jagged spurs and sliced terminals add a comic-book or pulp-title edge, suggesting speed, impact, and a bit of swagger. It feels made to grab attention quickly rather than disappear into the page.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure, combining a condensed italic stance with spurred serif details for extra bite. Its cut terminals and dense weight aim to convey motion and urgency while remaining legible at typical display sizes.
The uppercase set looks especially compact and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike feel with clear bowls and sturdy joins. Numerals match the same cut-terminal styling, keeping the overall texture consistent across mixed text. The strong slant and tight spacing encourage short bursts of copy where the angular details can be appreciated.
