A condensed, heavy slab-serif with a pronounced oblique slant and compact proportions. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with square, flat-ended serifs and blunt terminals that create a sturdy, poster-like texture. Counters are tight and apertures tend toward closed shapes, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a compact, readable x-height. Overall spacing reads dense and energetic, producing a strong rhythm in both caps and mixed-case setting.
Best suited to display applications where strong emphasis is needed, such as headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, and punchy packaging. It can also work for editorial subheads or pull quotes when a compact, high-impact line is desired, but the dense color makes it less ideal for long-form body text.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, headline-driven attitude. Its angled stance and blocky slabs suggest motion and impact, evoking retro athletic graphics and bold editorial calls-to-action.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining a sturdy slab-serif build with an oblique forward lean to imply speed and urgency. It prioritizes bold presence and graphic clarity for attention-grabbing typographic moments.
The figures follow the same condensed, weighty logic as the letters, with sturdy shapes that hold up well at display sizes. The combination of narrow width and heavy weight yields a dark color on the page, so it visually dominates in short bursts of text.
