An oblique serif with squared-off curves and slightly rounded corners, built from sturdy, low-contrast strokes. Serifs are small and bracketless, often expressed as sharp, angled spurs that reinforce the forward slant. Counters tend toward squarish forms (notably in C, O, and the numerals), and the overall construction favors straight segments, clipped joins, and chamfer-like endings. Spacing and rhythm feel tight and controlled, producing a compact, efficient texture in text while keeping a distinctly engineered silhouette.
Best suited to headlines and short settings where its oblique stance and squared detailing can carry personality—such as sports branding, team or event graphics, product packaging, and punchy signage. It can work in brief text blocks when you want a compact, brisk texture, but it is most effective when given space to show its distinctive terminals and squarish curves.
The tone is energetic and purposeful, with a sporty, retro-technical flavor. Its forward-leaning posture and clipped details suggest motion, speed, and performance, while the serif treatment adds a slightly formal, badge-like authority.
The design appears intended to merge a classic serif foundation with a streamlined, engineered look, emphasizing speed and precision through oblique posture and clipped, angular finishing. The consistent low-contrast construction and squared curves point to a display-first approach that still maintains enough structure for controlled text use.
Uppercase forms read especially bold in silhouette due to their squared bowls and firm horizontals, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation through brisk terminals and angled joints. Numerals follow the same squared geometry, giving figures a cohesive, display-oriented presence.
