A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with compact proportions and blunt, squared terminals. Strokes are low-contrast and largely monolinear, with rounded interior corners and subtle ink-trap-like notches where joins tighten, helping counters stay open. The uppercase is tall and condensed in feel, with squared shoulders and clipped curves; the lowercase follows with a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm and a single-storey ‘a’. Numerals are similarly built, with broad curves and squared cutoffs that keep the set cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its weight, slanted stance, and squared slabs can carry impact—sports and motorsport branding, bold packaging callouts, posters, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for brief subheads or UI highlights, but its dense rhythm is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic: the oblique slant and blocky slabs suggest speed, strength, and engineered reliability. It reads as modern and utilitarian rather than delicate, with a slightly retro, athletic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, muscular voice with a sturdy slab-serif foundation, optimizing for punchy display readability and a mechanically consistent texture across letters and figures.
Tight apertures and compact sidebearings create dense word shapes, while the squared slabs and softened corners balance hardness with legibility. The italic construction feels integral to the design (not simply a slanted roman), giving diagonals and terminals a consistent, purposeful angle.
