Solid Umti 2 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'McChesney' by T-26 (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, slanted display face with compact proportions and a strongly faceted silhouette. Strokes are built from broad, flat planes with chopped corners and occasional notches, producing a cut-metal or stenciled-by-hand impression. Counters are largely collapsed, so letters read as solid shapes with minimal internal negative space, and curves are simplified into polygonal forms. The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with a slightly irregular, handmade geometry that keeps the texture lively in words.
Well suited for posters, splashy headlines, and branding where a bold, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work effectively for logos, sports or motorsport-themed graphics, packaging callouts, and entertainment or music visuals that benefit from a tough, angular display style.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, blending a rugged, industrial feel with a retro headline attitude. Its angular cuts and solid mass suggest urgency, toughness, and a brash, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears aimed at maximizing impact through solid, compressed letterforms and sharp, chiseled edges, creating a distinctive word shape that reads quickly in large settings. The slant and faceting suggest motion and grit, prioritizing attitude and texture over fine detail.
Readability is strongest at display sizes where the distinctive outer silhouettes can do the work; at smaller sizes, the filled-in interiors and tight joins can reduce character differentiation. Numerals match the same blocky, faceted construction and maintain a consistent, poster-like density across lines of text.
