A very heavy, right-slanted display face built from compact, angular forms and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin behavior with diagonal stress, producing crisp internal highlights and slit-like apertures across many letters. The silhouette is narrow and forward-leaning, with wedge-like serifs, pointed joins, and occasional cut-in notches that create a chiseled, carved rhythm. Counters are tight and the overall texture is dark and continuous, with consistent italic momentum across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best used for posters, covers, and headline typography where its dense black texture and slanted drive can carry the composition. It also fits logotypes and wordmarks that want a hard-edged, vintage-leaning attitude, and works well for sports or action-oriented branding when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone is forceful and high-energy, with a vintage, headline-ready swagger. Its steep slant and razor-edged details read as fast, competitive, and cinematic—suited to messages that want impact and urgency rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through extreme weight, italic propulsion, and chiseled high-contrast detailing. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and dramatic internal cuts to create a distinctive, high-impact display voice.
The bold weight and tight counters make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the internal cuts and contrast can be appreciated. Numerals echo the same slanted, wedge-cut construction, keeping a unified, poster-like texture across mixed text.
