A heavy, forward-slanted serif with compact, angular construction and strongly cut wedge-like serifs. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, but the forms are shaped by sharp, chiseled joins and oblique terminals that create a faceted silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and geometric, with frequent notches and triangular apertures that emphasize a mechanical, carved feel. Uppercase letters are broad-shouldered and forceful, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm with short extenders and dense spacing in text.
Best suited for headlines, short subheads, posters, and branding where a dense, energetic serif can carry attitude and impact. It can also work for packaging and editorial display settings that benefit from a retro-industrial flavor, while extended body text may require additional spacing for comfortable readability.
The overall tone is bold and insistent, with a fast, aggressive slant and a hard-edged, engineered personality. It evokes vintage display typography associated with sports, motorsport, and mid‑century promotional lettering, while still reading as a serif at headline sizes.
The design appears aimed at combining traditional serif signaling with a modern, high-impact, slanted display stance. Its chiseled terminals and compact counters prioritize punchy texture and motion over quiet neutrality, suggesting a focus on attention-grabbing titling and branding applications.
The pronounced angles at stroke ends and the consistent oblique cuts give the face a distinctive "sharpened" texture across both letters and numerals. In continuous lines of text the dark color builds quickly, making the style feel most comfortable when given generous tracking or larger sizes.
