A compact, forward-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and squared, chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with flat, block-like serifs and clipped terminals that create an engineered, octagonal rhythm in curves (notably in C, G, O, and the numerals). Counters are relatively open for the weight, and joins stay crisp rather than bracketed, giving the face a hard-edged, constructed look across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short-to-medium display use where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, team or motorsport-style branding, packaging, and product marks. It can also work for labels or signage-style applications where a robust, squared serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is punchy and utilitarian, with a sporty, workmanlike energy. Its angled stance and squared detailing suggest speed and toughness, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and sign-like rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to combine the authority of slab serifs with a streamlined, engineered aesthetic, using chamfered corners and wide letterforms to read strong at distance and feel dynamic in motion-oriented contexts.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and modular, with consistent corner-cut details that unify rounds and diagonals. The lowercase maintains the same blocky terminals and sturdy stems, producing a lively texture in setting while retaining a distinctly mechanical flavor.
