A sturdy slanted sans with even, low-variation strokes and rounded curve construction. The letterforms feel compact and mechanical, with generous counters and simplified joins that keep shapes crisp at a distance. Rounds (C, O, Q, e) are smoothly elliptical, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, y) cut cleanly with consistent angles. Terminals are mostly blunt and slightly softened, producing a solid, uniform rhythm across mixed case and numerals.
Best suited to short, punchy text where a strong, slanted texture is desirable—headlines, posters, packaging labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also serve interface or technical labeling needs when a robust, uniform rhythm and clear numerals are priorities.
The overall tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, with a subtle retro-tech flavor. Its slant and heavy texture add a sense of motion and emphasis, giving it an assertive, sports-and-industrial headline character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with a consistent, engineered rhythm and straightforward shapes. It emphasizes clarity and momentum through slanted construction, sturdy strokes, and rounded geometry that stays clean in bold, display-forward settings.
The numerals are broad and high-contrast in silhouette (not stroke), with simple, legible shapes and strong diagonals on figures like 2, 4, and 7. The lowercase shows a large, open construction (notably in a, e, s) that keeps text from clogging in bold settings, while the overall spacing reads disciplined and systematic.
