A heavy, right-slanted slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are strongly weighty with moderate contrast and a tightly controlled, slightly condensed aperture structure that keeps shapes dense and impactful. Serifs read as sturdy slabs with subtle bracketing, and many terminals are cut with sharp, angled corners that reinforce a mechanical, forward-leaning rhythm. Overall spacing is fairly tight, with deliberate notches and small cut-ins in joins and corners that add crispness and help prevent dark spots at this weight.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact lines where its heavy texture and slanted stance can carry the message. It also fits sports and motorsport branding, bold packaging callouts, and display signage where legibility at large sizes and a strong graphic silhouette are priorities.
The tone is energetic and forceful, with a sporty, poster-ready attitude. Its hard angles and chunky slabs give it an industrial, workmanlike confidence, while the italic slant adds speed and urgency suited to action-oriented messaging.
Likely designed as a no-nonsense slab serif display face that emphasizes weight, speed, and solidity. The combination of wide stance, chunky slabs, and angular cut-ins suggests an intention to deliver maximum impact and a confident, utilitarian presence in prominent typographic roles.
Uppercase forms are particularly block-driven and uniform in texture, while the lowercase keeps a similarly compact footprint for a consistent color in words. Numerals match the same dense, angular construction, maintaining the same strong baseline presence and forward momentum in running text.
