A heavy, italicized slab-serif with squared terminals and unbracketed, block-like serifs that meet stems crisply. Strokes are low-contrast and relatively uniform, with rounded corners and softened joins that keep the shapes from feeling sharp despite the strong geometry. Counters are compact and often squarish, and many curves resolve into flattened, angular forms (notably in C/G/S and the numerals). The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and energetic, with firm horizontals and short, stout serifs creating a dense, robust texture in text.
Best suited for short-to-medium text where impact matters: headlines, posters, badges, and branding systems that want a rugged, engineered voice. It also fits packaging, product labels, and sports/automotive-themed graphics where italic emphasis and sturdy slab detailing enhance a sense of motion and strength.
The face projects a tough, utilitarian confidence with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor. Its slanted stance and squared details give it a sporty, action-oriented tone—more “equipment label” than “bookish”—while the softened corners add approachability and a hint of vintage signage.
Designed to deliver strong emphasis through a forward slant, dense strokes, and crisp slab structure, while keeping forms readable via consistent stroke weight and gently rounded corners. The letterforms prioritize bold presence and a constructed, mechanical silhouette that holds up well at display sizes.
Uppercase forms read particularly solid and modular, while lowercase maintains the same squared, slabbed vocabulary for continuity in running text. Numerals are similarly blocky and engineered, with simplified, angular bowls and strong baseline presence that makes them stand out in UI-like or labeling contexts.
