A heavy, condensed slab serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes are broadly uniform, producing strong, dark texture, and the serifs read as blocky, squared-off supports rather than delicate finishing. Counters are relatively tight and the overall spacing feels compact, creating a punchy, headline-forward silhouette that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and prominent editorial deck typography where a dense, dramatic voice is desired. It also works well for logos or wordmarks that need a strong footprint in limited horizontal space, and for banners or signage where quick recognition matters.
This typeface projects a forceful, energetic tone with a classic, poster-like confidence. Its slanted stance and dense color give it a sense of speed and urgency, while the sturdy serifs keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in short bursts of text, combining a condensed structure with robust slabs for stability. The italic slant adds motion and emphasis, suggesting a display-first tool for attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet reading.
The sample text shows a strong, even typographic “color” that holds together at larger sizes, with distinctive slab terminals that reinforce a solid, industrial feel. The condensed proportions and tight internal shapes can make long paragraphs feel heavy, but they enhance punch and presence in display settings.
