This typeface is a heavy, oblique slab-serif with a distinctly squared-off construction. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, and many terminals finish in flat, blocky slabs that read as integrated extensions of the stems. Curves are broadly rounded but controlled by straight segments and chamfer-like joins, producing a boxy, engineered silhouette. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall proportions feel extended, giving letters a stretched, forward-leaning rhythm that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display work where impact and motion are desirable—headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold logotypes. It can also perform well on packaging and short callouts where its sturdy slabs and open shapes help maintain clarity at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, combining a sporty slant with a technical, machined firmness. Its squared terminals and wide stance create a confident, high-impact voice that feels at home in competitive, industrial, or action-oriented settings.
The design appears intended to merge a robust slab-serif backbone with a dynamic oblique posture, delivering a wide, high-energy look that remains tightly controlled and uniform. The squared terminals and low-contrast strokes suggest an emphasis on durability, legibility in bold statements, and a distinctly contemporary-industrial flavor.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create momentum in text lines, while the slabbed terminals help maintain structure at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same squared, sturdy logic, supporting a cohesive display system for headings, stats, and labeling.
