A right-leaning slab serif with squared, blocky construction and brisk, angular terminals. Strokes are largely straight with clipped corners and small, sturdy slab feet that read more like bracketless blocks than traditional serifs. Counters tend toward squarish shapes, and many joins show sharp notches and cut-ins that create a faceted, machined rhythm. The lowercase keeps a tall x-height and tight internal spacing, while capitals feel broad-shouldered and engineered, giving the whole set a dense, energetic texture in text.
This face suits headlines, posters, and promotional layouts where a fast, forceful texture is desirable. It also fits sports branding, team or event graphics, product packaging, and apparel marks that benefit from a tough, engineered slab look.
The overall tone is punchy and performance-driven, with an industrial, equipment-label feel. Its angled cuts and hard edges suggest motion and impact, lending a sporty, slightly aggressive voice that can also read as retro-tech or arcade-adjacent depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with italicized forward motion, using chamfered terminals and notched joins to evoke speed and machinery. Its consistent, modular geometry prioritizes visual punch and a distinctive texture in display sizes.
The numerals and uppercase share the same angular logic, with beveled corners and sturdy slab accents that maintain a consistent, mechanical silhouette. In continuous text the repeated diagonal cuts create a lively pattern that emphasizes pace over softness, making it better for display and short runs than quiet reading settings.
