A slanted, angular serif with squared counters and rounded-rectangle bowls, built from firm, mostly monoline strokes. Terminals frequently resolve into sharp wedge-like serifs and small flares, giving a chiseled, beveled impression rather than classic bracketed detailing. Curves are tightened into squarish arcs, and several joins show subtle ink-trap-like notches that add crispness at display sizes. The lowercase mixes sturdy vertical stems with compact apertures and a slightly mechanical rhythm, while numerals echo the same squared, beveled construction for a consistent texture.
Best suited for display work where its angled stance and chiseled serifs can carry personality—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and sporty or industrial-themed graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style text when you want a compact, engineered look, but its sharp detailing is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels retro-industrial and sporty, combining a vintage signage attitude with a streamlined, techno edge. Its forward slant reads energetic and purposeful, with sharp terminals that suggest speed, precision, and a slightly gritty engineered character.
The letterforms appear designed to reinterpret serif construction through a geometric, beveled lens—prioritizing impact, speed, and a machined aesthetic over traditional book typography. The consistent squaring of curves and the pointed terminals suggest an aim for distinctive, emblematic forms that reproduce well in bold, high-contrast layouts.
The design leans on strong silhouettes and distinctive corners, producing high recognition in short words and headlines. The italic angle is integral to the construction (not merely obliqued), and the squarish counters create a tight, controlled pattern that can feel bold even without heavy stroke weight.
