A forward-leaning slab serif with compact proportions and sturdy, block-like serifs. Strokes are largely uniform and heavy, with squared terminals and slightly chamfered joins that keep the shapes crisp at display sizes. Counters are relatively tight and rounded forms are pulled into angular, squarish curves, giving the letters a mechanical rhythm. The italics are built as true oblique letterforms rather than a simple slant, with dynamic diagonals and a consistent, muscular texture across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports-related branding, and product packaging where the heavy slabs and oblique stance can carry attitude and motion. It also works well for labels, signage, and promotional graphics that need an industrial, performance-driven voice, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and utilitarian—more like a performance or equipment aesthetic than a literary one. Its slanted stance adds momentum and urgency, while the slab construction reads as robust and workmanlike. The result feels confident and slightly aggressive, with a clear retro-industrial edge.
This design appears intended to combine the sturdiness of slab serif construction with a sense of speed and emphasis through an oblique, angular drawing style. The consistent weight and square-ended detailing prioritize punchy presence and clear silhouettes in display use, delivering a durable, athletic-meets-industrial personality.
Capitals present a strong, poster-ready silhouette and maintain consistent slabbing across straight and curved letters. The lowercase keeps a compact, energetic footprint with assertive entry/exit strokes and firm serifs that reinforce the forward motion. Numerals follow the same squared, heavy construction, producing a cohesive, emphatic texture in mixed text settings.
