A sturdy italic slab-serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letters lean noticeably with a forward, engineered slant, combining compact curves with flattened terminals and crisp inside corners. Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is dense, with a strong baseline presence and pronounced slabs on stems and diagonals. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and show a utilitarian, slightly squared construction, while numerals are wide and bold with simplified shapes that match the blocky rhythm.
Best used at display sizes where the bold slabs and italic momentum can be appreciated—headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-style branding, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short labels or signage where a condensed, high-impact texture is desired, but extended small-text settings may feel heavy due to tight counters and dense rhythm.
The face projects speed and impact, mixing a workmanlike, industrial bluntness with a classic athletic and editorial energy. Its forward lean and thick slabs create a confident, no-nonsense tone suited to attention-grabbing messages rather than delicate reading.
The likely intent is a high-impact italic slab designed to communicate motion and strength while maintaining a pragmatic, industrial clarity. Its squared terminals and robust serifs appear aimed at creating a distinctive, durable voice for display typography.
The design emphasizes straight-sided geometry and flat endings, giving round letters (like O/C) a subtly squared silhouette. Joins and apertures are kept fairly closed, which increases weighty texture and makes spacing feel compact in longer words.
