A heavy, oblique slab-serif with a notably wide stance and compact internal counters. Strokes are largely monolinear, with squared-off slab serifs and flat terminals that create a crisp, engineered silhouette. Curves are slightly flattened into oval forms, and joins often show angular cut-ins that read like subtle ink-traps, sharpening the texture at display sizes. The rhythm is open and horizontal, with broad capitals and a tall, sturdy lowercase that maintains strong color across lines.
Best suited to bold headline settings where width and slanted momentum can do the work—posters, sports or motorsport-themed branding, event graphics, and assertive packaging. It also performs well for short labels and signage where square terminals and slab structure support quick recognition.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, blending a vintage athletic/industrial flavor with a modern, mechanical crispness. Its forward slant and wide proportions add speed and emphasis, making text feel energetic and purposeful rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, wide, slanted slab voice: strong baseline anchoring, clear geometry, and a deliberately industrial finish. The combination of square slabs, flattened rounds, and sharp join cut-ins suggests an emphasis on sturdy legibility and a branded, performance-oriented personality.
In the samples, the heavy horizontals and slab feet produce a strong baseline presence, while the wide forms keep spacing airy despite the weight. The numerals and capitals read particularly stable and signage-like, and the oblique angle remains consistent without becoming cursive.
