A slanted, square-built slab serif with chunky, flat-cut terminals and an overall engineered geometry. Strokes are consistently heavy with crisp corners, and counters tend toward rectangular forms (notably in O and D). The italics are formed by a forward lean paired with cut-away joins and stepped diagonals, giving letters a dynamic, segmented rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, while lowercase is compact with sturdy stems, short shoulders, and simplified bowls that keep texture dense in text settings.
Best suited to display uses where impact and motion are desired—sports identities, event posters, team apparel, product marks, and bold headline systems. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when a technical, assertive flavor is appropriate, though its dense texture suggests avoiding long-form text.
The font projects speed and impact with a mechanical, competitive tone. Its angular cuts and squared silhouettes suggest motorsport numbering, athletic branding, or futuristic hardware aesthetics. The overall voice is confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, arcade-like edge.
The design appears intended to fuse slab-serif sturdiness with a forward-leaning, speed-oriented stance. Squared terminals, boxy counters, and stepped diagonals prioritize a strong silhouette and immediate recognition, especially in large sizes and branding contexts.
Figures follow the same square-architected language as the letters, reading strongly at a distance and holding their shape in bold applications. Diagonal strokes and terminals often resolve into straight, flat ends, reinforcing a constructed, modular feel rather than calligraphic motion.
