A compact, forward-leaning slab serif with a tall, condensed footprint and heavy, even strokes. The letterforms are built from straight segments and sharp corners, with chamfered and notched joins that create a faceted, machined look. Slab serifs are short and sturdy, and many terminals end in flat, squared cuts that reinforce the rigid geometry. Counters are relatively tight, apertures are restrained, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy, designed to hold together at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact matters—posters, sports and team identities, event promotion, labels, and packaging. It also works well for bold editorial callouts and signage-style applications where condensed width helps fit more characters while maintaining strong presence.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, poster-like urgency. Its angular detailing and pronounced slant give it a competitive, high-impact voice that reads as bold, no-nonsense, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in limited horizontal space, combining sturdy slab structure with angular, cut-in details for a fast, modernized display feel. Its consistent heft and tightened counters suggest a focus on standout legibility and visual punch at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms feel especially display-oriented, with stylized cuts on diagonals and corners that add texture without introducing curves. Numerals and lowercase follow the same chiseled construction, keeping a consistent, engineered personality across the set.
