A forward-leaning slab serif with heavy, blocky strokes and predominantly square-cut terminals. The letterforms are built from broad, confident shapes with minimal stroke modulation and crisp joins, producing a firm, mechanical rhythm. Slab serifs read as short, sturdy platforms and brackets are generally tight, with occasional notches and cut-ins that add a slightly engineered, ink-trap-like flavor. Counters are compact and the overall stance feels wide and planted, while the oblique angle keeps the texture fast and directional in text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and branding where a strong italicized slab presence is desirable. It can work well for posters, packaging, and sports or automotive-style identities that benefit from speed cues and robust letterforms. For text settings, it performs most convincingly at larger sizes where the squared detailing and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, combining a utilitarian, machine-made feel with a sporty, display-driven slant. It evokes motion and impact more than delicacy, making it feel suited to bold messaging and branded statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact slab serif voice with a sense of motion, using an oblique construction and squared terminals to feel modern, engineered, and promotional. The sturdy proportions and compact counters suggest an emphasis on durability and visual punch in display use.
The numerals share the same squared, aerodynamic construction, with open, clear silhouettes and strong horizontal stress. In running text, the oblique slant and chunky slabs create a dark, punchy color that favors short bursts of copy over long-form reading.
