A sharply oblique slab serif with largely monoline strokes and tightly chamfered, octagonal shaping throughout. Serifs are blocky and square-ended, with flat terminals and clipped corners that create a mechanical, sign-painted rhythm. Counters tend toward squared/rounded-rectangle forms, and joins stay crisp, producing a compact, engineered texture in words. Numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry, with sturdy, uniform strokes and clear, billboard-like silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, short subheads, and display settings where its angular slabs and italic momentum can read as energetic and robust. It works well for sports branding, product marks, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a strong, technical voice. For long body text, its dense rhythm and pronounced oblique stance are more likely to feel heavy, so it shines most at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking athletic lettering, equipment branding, and industrial labeling. Its angled stance and faceted corners add speed and urgency, while the slab structure keeps it grounded and durable. The result feels retro-futurist and utilitarian rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact italic voice built from simple, uniform strokes and square slab terminals, with chamfered corners to suggest precision and toughness. Its consistent faceting across letters and numerals points to a systemized approach aimed at strong silhouettes and dependable readability in display contexts.
Spacing appears moderately tight, letting the repeated chamfers and slabs form a consistent horizontal cadence in longer lines. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified construction, with simplified forms and minimal contrast that keep the texture even across mixed-case settings.
