A slanted slab-serif with mostly even stroke weight and crisp, unbracketed serifs. The letterforms are built from squared shapes with softened corners, giving the curves (like C, G, O) a rounded-rectangle feel. Terminals are blunt and blocky, counters are relatively open, and the overall construction leans geometric and engineered rather than calligraphic. The rhythm is steady and sturdy, with tight, efficient shapes that read clearly in all-caps and remain distinctive in the lowercase and numerals.
Well-suited to short-to-medium headlines where the slab structure and oblique energy can carry a bold, industrial voice. It fits branding systems that need a rugged, engineered feel (sports, tools, automotive, tech hardware) and can also work for packaging and labels where strong letter silhouettes improve quick recognition.
The design conveys a utilitarian, performance-oriented tone—confident and mechanical with a retro-tech flavor. Its oblique stance adds motion and urgency, while the squared slabs and rounded corners keep it grounded and durable.
The font appears intended to blend classic slab-serif sturdiness with a streamlined, modern-mechanical construction. The squared serifs and rounded-rectangle curves suggest a focus on impact and legibility under display conditions, while the consistent slant adds dynamism for contemporary branding and headline use.
Distinctive slab terminals and squared joins create strong silhouettes, especially in the diagonals (V, W, X, Y) and in the compact, blocky numerals. The italic angle is consistent across cases, helping lines of text feel continuous and forward-leaning.
