A heavy, forward-slanted sans with monospaced spacing and a strong, squared-off construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and a steady rhythm across lines. Curves are broadly elliptical, counters are relatively small, and terminals tend to finish with crisp, angled cuts that reinforce the italic momentum. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy profile with broad bowls (a, b, d, o) and a single-storey a, while figures are wide and weighty with simple, utilitarian forms and a slashed zero.
Ideal for bold headlines, posters, and branding systems that need speed, strength, and presence. The monospaced rhythm makes it a strong choice for technical-themed graphics, product marks, and packaging where a structured, industrial voice is desirable. It can also work well for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is loud and energetic, with a mechanical, no-nonsense feel that reads as sporty and workmanlike. The pronounced slant and compact counters create urgency and impact, giving it a retro-tech confidence reminiscent of equipment labeling and performance branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact within a fixed-width, italic framework—combining the disciplined cadence of monospacing with the dynamism of a strong slant. It prioritizes bold recognition, robust shapes, and consistent texture for graphic-forward typography.
Because of the dense weight and tight interior spaces, it performs best at display and headline sizes rather than extended small-text settings. The monospaced fit gives it a grid-like regularity that can feel technical, while the slant adds motion that keeps it from feeling static.
