This is a forward-leaning slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and mostly monolinear strokes. The letterforms are wide and slightly geometric, with rounded corners in bowls and a consistent, mechanical rhythm. Serifs read as blunt and unbracketed, and many terminals feel cut or chamfered, reinforcing a crisp, engineered finish. Numerals follow the same logic, with broad proportions and clear, open shapes that hold together at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, short statements, and branding where a bold, engineered character is desired. The wide stance and sturdy slabs make it suitable for posters and signage, and it can also add a technical, sporty edge to editorial callouts or packaging.
The tone is confident and utilitarian, balancing a classic slab-serif solidity with an energetic, contemporary slant. It suggests speed and precision rather than warmth, giving text a purposeful, workmanlike voice with a subtle retro-technical flavor.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif robustness with an oblique, high-velocity stance, delivering strong presence and quick recognition. Its controlled stroke weight and square serif treatment aim for clarity and impact in display-led typography.
In continuous text, the broad set and pronounced slabbing create a strong horizontal emphasis, while the oblique angle adds momentum. The design stays visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, keeping stroke weight and serif treatment tightly controlled.
