A condensed, right-leaning slab-serif with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and a compact footprint. The serifs are square and emphatic, often forming crisp foot-and-head terminals that read like cut metal. Counters are tight and geometry skews angular, with flattened curves and occasional sharp joins; the overall rhythm is dense and punchy. Uppercase forms feel tall and upright in structure despite the italic slant, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike build with compact bowls and short extenders.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, forceful voice is needed—headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts. The condensed build helps when space is limited, making it useful for sports branding, packaging labels, and attention-grabbing signage where an energetic italic is desirable.
The tone is athletic and no-nonsense, mixing a vintage sign-painting energy with a rugged, industrial confidence. Its italic slant adds speed and urgency, while the slabbed endings keep it grounded and tough. Overall it suggests motion, impact, and practical strength rather than refinement.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width: a fast-leaning italic with robust slab terminals for durability and visibility. The controlled contrast and square finishing prioritize clarity and repeatable rhythm, aiming for a practical, hard-working display style with retro-industrial flavor.
In text, the heavy horizontal and vertical terminals create a strong left-to-right cadence that emphasizes word shapes and baseline stability. The numerals are equally blocky and assertive, matching the letterforms’ square-cut finishing and compressed proportions, which helps maintain a consistent, poster-ready texture.
