This typeface is a sharply slanted serif with square, slab-like terminals and an angular, constructed skeleton. Strokes are fairly even, with crisp corners and short, unbracketed serifs that read as flat caps and feet rather than calligraphic finishing. Many joins and counters are drawn with hard, polygonal geometry, giving letters a slightly “engineered” look, and the rhythm is intentionally irregular in places due to variable widths and aggressive diagonals. In text, the face stays compact in vertical proportions while the forward lean and extended horizontals create a fast, cutting texture.
It works best in display settings where its angular slabs and pronounced slant can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging with a technical or industrial theme. It can also suit interface or in-game typography for sci‑fi or racing aesthetics, particularly in short labels and titles.
The overall tone feels mechanical and edgy, with a distinctly technical, sci‑fi flavor. Its sharp angles and rigid slabs evoke instrumentation, industrial labeling, and retro-futurist display typography rather than literary or classic editorial moods.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif stability with a forward-driving, engineered form language. By emphasizing square terminals, sharp diagonals, and faceted counters, it aims to deliver a distinctive, high-impact voice that reads as technical and modern rather than traditional.
The most distinctive character comes from the combination of strong forward slant, squared-off slabs, and the consistently angular treatment of curves, which makes even round letters feel faceted. Numerals follow the same constructed approach, maintaining the sharp, engineered voice across alphanumerics.
