A condensed, forward-leaning slab serif with thick, even strokes and crisp, square-cut terminals. The serifs are blocky and unbracketed, giving joins a hard, mechanical snap, while counters stay relatively open for the width. Curves are tightened and slightly squared-off, with a compact rhythm and strong horizontal/vertical emphasis; the numerals follow the same sturdy, speed-oriented construction. Overall spacing reads efficient and dense, reinforcing the typeface’s punchy, display-first presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent branding where condensed width and strong slabs can carry impact at a distance. It also fits sports identities, product packaging, and labels that benefit from a sense of speed and rugged clarity. For body copy, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the compact forms have room to breathe.
The tone is fast, tough, and slightly retro—suggesting motion, pressure, and competitive intensity. Its compact slanted stance and hard-edged slabs feel utilitarian and engineered, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads well in bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a slanted, dynamic posture with sturdy slab serifs for a bold, engineered look. Its forms prioritize recognizable, hard-edged silhouettes and uniform stroke strength to keep text forceful and consistent across mixed-case and numerals.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the slab endings create a distinctive silhouette in diagonals and terminals. The design favors sharp corners and flattened curves over calligraphic softness, producing a uniform, high-impact texture in longer lines of display text.
