A condensed, forward-leaning slab serif with square-cut terminals and a strong, compact footprint. Strokes stay largely even with minimal modulation, emphasizing a sturdy, mechanical rhythm. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, while the squared, blocky serifs and clipped joins give the outlines a crisp, engineered feel. The overall spacing and proportions favor tall, efficient forms that read with a dense, energetic texture.
Best for headlines, subheads, posters, and high-impact branding where a tight, energetic look is desirable. It also suits sports-oriented graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage that benefits from compact width and strong presence.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a utilitarian sturdiness with a distinctly retro, headline-driven attitude. Its slanted stance and hard-edged slabs evoke speed and impact, lending a sporty, poster-like urgency without becoming decorative.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing sturdy slab construction with a forward-leaning, speed-inflected silhouette. The consistent square terminals and low-modulation strokes suggest an emphasis on clarity, punch, and repeatable visual rhythm in display contexts.
The numerals and caps present as especially compact and forceful, with consistent square endings that keep lines looking clean and uniform. In text settings the bold, compressed shapes create a strong dark color, making it better suited to short bursts than long-form reading.
