A slanted slab-serif with sharp, unbracketed serifs and a distinctly angular construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp joins, squared-off terminals, and frequent chamfered corners that give counters and curves a faceted, engineered feel. Proportions are compact and forward-leaning, with a tall x-height and a slightly condensed rhythm in the lowercase; the uppercase reads more geometric and blocky, with several characters using octagonal/rectilinear bowls. Figures match the same sporty, cut-corner logic and maintain clear, rigid silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, sports branding, and other short-form display settings where the angled stance and slab details can read clearly. It can also work for packaging, apparel graphics, and identity systems that want a bold, technical voice; for extended text, its sharp slabs and tight rhythm will feel more expressive than neutral.
The overall tone is fast, energetic, and performance-oriented, combining a retro racing flavor with a modern, technical edge. Its sharp slabs and forward slant communicate motion and confidence, making it feel assertive rather than literary or delicate.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with an italic, speed-driven silhouette. The repeated chamfers and square serifs suggest an aim for a mechanical, high-impact look that stays legible while feeling aggressive and modern.
The design leans on consistent diagonal cuts and squared serifs to unify the set, producing strong word-shapes at display sizes. The uppercase has a slightly more monoline, stencil-like solidity, while the lowercase adds a bit more calligraphic swing through the italic angle and tapered joins.
