A heavy, forward-leaning slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and a largely even stroke weight. Forms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with angular joins, flattened curves, and squared counters that keep the rhythm tight and mechanical. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the serifs read as sturdy rectangular feet and caps rather than delicate finishing strokes. Numerals are wide and sturdy with squared-off shaping, matching the alphabet’s blunt, engineered geometry.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding that needs a bold, athletic or industrial voice. It can work well on packaging and labels where short bursts of text benefit from strong silhouettes and a forward-moving italic stance.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a sporty, signage-like punch with an industrial, machined finish. Its squared details and steady slant give it a fast, functional character that feels confident rather than refined.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a fast, slanted stance and robust slab finishing, aiming for a modernized vintage or sports-inspired display feel. Its squared construction suggests an intention toward signage clarity and a tough, engineered aesthetic.
The design relies on straight segments and clipped curves, which creates high impact at display sizes and a strong, uniform texture in lines of text. Counters tend to be squared and somewhat tight, emphasizing density and presence over airiness.
