A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif with compact proportions and a crisp, squared construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and terminals finish in flat, rectangular slabs that feel bracketless and mechanical. Many joins and corners are cut with sharp angles, giving counters and bowls a subtly faceted, "chiseled" look. The rhythm is tight and punchy, with sturdy verticals, narrow apertures, and a forward-tilting stance that keeps lines of text feeling fast and dense.
Best used for display settings such as posters, event graphics, sports branding, bold editorial headlines, and logo wordmarks where impact and speed are desirable. It can work for short paragraphs at larger sizes, but its dense spacing and heavy slabs favor titles, pull quotes, and packaging copy that needs a rugged, high-energy presence.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, mixing a sporty, headline-driven attitude with a retro-industrial edge. Its angular cuts and squared slabs read as tough and no-nonsense, projecting confidence and momentum rather than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through thick, squared slabs and an italicized forward motion, combining a sturdy industrial backbone with a sporty, retro display sensibility.
Uppercase forms look particularly suited to short bursts of text, with strong silhouettes and emphatic slab endings. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-corner logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered feel across letters and figures.
