A heavy, oblique slab-serif with broad proportions and sturdy, square-shouldered forms. Strokes are low-contrast and strongly weighted, with thick bracketed slabs that read as rectangular feet and caps rather than hairline serifs. Counters are generous and mostly open, and the overall rhythm is assertive with compact inner spaces and prominent stems. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the face forward motion while keeping the construction solid and mechanical.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium display copy where its heavy slabs and oblique energy can carry the layout. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a strong, vintage-leaning voice, and can also serve as an impactful typographic accent in editorial or promotional designs when set with ample spacing.
The tone is bold and energetic with a vintage, workmanlike flavor. Its slanted stance and chunky slabs create a sense of speed and impact, evoking athletic branding, classic signage, and print-era display typography rather than delicate editorial refinement.
Likely designed to deliver a forceful, fast-moving slab-serif look that remains highly readable at display sizes. The combination of wide, weighty forms and consistent obliquing suggests an intention to balance industrial sturdiness with a sporty, attention-grabbing cadence.
The sample text shows strong word-shape continuity at larger sizes, where the slab terminals and angled stress become a key identifying feature. Numerals appear robust and legible, matching the letterforms’ weight and oblique posture for cohesive headline setting.
