A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with wide proportions and squared, unbracketed terminals. Strokes are low-contrast and strongly geometric, with chamfered corners and rectangular counters that keep forms open even at weight. Curves are flattened into rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in C, O, and 0), while joins and serifs read as solid blocks that emphasize a sturdy, engineered rhythm. The italics are constructed rather than calligraphic, maintaining consistent stroke logic and crisp, hard edges across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to bold headlines, sports or motorsport branding, posters, and packaging where a strong, fast, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for short editorial callouts or titles in large sizes, where the squared geometry and slab terminals remain clear and purposeful.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, blending a retro athletic feel with an industrial, machine-made confidence. The slant adds speed and urgency, while the blocky slabs and squared geometry project toughness and impact.
Likely designed to deliver a rugged, speed-forward display slab: a constructed italic with wide, blocky proportions, high presence, and consistent, squared detailing that holds together in loud branding and headline contexts.
Uppercase forms feel especially compact and modular, with sharp interior corners and strong horizontal emphasis. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle construction, helping the set look cohesive in technical or sporty layouts. Spacing appears built for display use, with dense letterforms that create a continuous, high-impact texture in paragraphs of large text.
