A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with compact proportions and sturdy, square-cut detailing. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and crisp, flat terminals that read as bracketless slabs. The letterforms feel slightly condensed and tightly spaced, with squared shoulders and angular joins that create a muscular, poster-like rhythm. Lowercase forms are robust and upright in construction despite the slant, with sturdy stems, blunt serifs, and a generally pragmatic, engineered geometry; numerals match the same compact, weighty stance.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, fast-moving voice is needed. It can work well on packaging and signage, especially when you want a compact, high-impact texture that holds up in large sizes and bold display settings.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a distinctly sporty, no-nonsense attitude. It evokes vintage athletics, workwear labels, and industrial signage—confident, direct, and built to grab attention at a glance.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of slab serifs with a dynamic italicized stance, prioritizing impact, compactness, and clear block-like shapes. Its consistent, square-ended detailing suggests a focus on sturdy display typography with a vintage-industrial and athletic flavor.
The pronounced slant and dense black texture make it particularly impactful in short bursts, while the squared serifs and tight apertures emphasize a strong, mechanical silhouette. The sample text shows a cohesive, punchy word-shape with clear, consistent emphasis across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
