A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with square, unbracketed slabs that read as sturdy caps at key terminals. Curves are tightened into angular arcs, producing rounded forms that feel squared-off, and many joins are cut with crisp, straight edges. The overall rhythm is punchy and mechanical, with a forward lean and a slightly condensed interior space that boosts impact at display sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display applications such as sports identities, event posters, bold headlines, and merchandise graphics where a strong forward-leaning presence is desirable. It also works well on packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, industrial voice and clear, sturdy letterforms.
The tone is forceful and energetic, suggesting speed and performance while staying tough and utilitarian. Its blocky slabs and tight apertures give it a rugged, workmanlike confidence that also nods to vintage athletic and motorsport aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a fast, slanted stance, combining slab-serif solidity with a streamlined, athletic feel. Its square-cut details and consistent stroke weight prioritize strength, clarity, and a graphic, logo-friendly texture.
Uppercase shapes maintain a consistent, engineered silhouette, while lowercase forms keep the same hard-edged logic and sturdy serifs for a unified texture. Numerals follow the same squared, oblique construction, remaining bold and highly legible with minimal ornament.
