A lean, forward-slanted slab serif with a crisp, monoline construction and prominent square terminals. Many curves are faceted into chamfered, near-octagonal shapes, giving rounds like O/Q/0/8 a mechanical, cut-corner feel. Serifs are unbracketed and blocky, with a consistent stroke weight and sharp joins that emphasize straight segments and corners. Proportions are relatively narrow and compact, with a steady rhythm that stays legible in text while retaining a distinctly engineered outline.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted geometry and forward motion can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and sports or automotive-themed graphics. It can also work for short text blocks or captions when you want a crisp, utilitarian voice, though the angular rounding and tight feel may be more assertive than a neutral text face.
The overall tone feels technical and retro-industrial, like lettering derived from drafting, equipment marking, or motorsport graphics. Its angled stance adds speed and urgency, while the squared-off details keep it disciplined and precise rather than expressive or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate slab-serif structure into a streamlined, technical idiom, using cut corners and straightened curves to suggest precision and speed. The consistent stroke and squared terminals aim for high visual cohesion across letters and numerals while maintaining a distinctive, engineered silhouette.
Uppercase forms show strong geometric simplification, especially in rounded letters, and the numerals echo the same faceted construction for a cohesive alphanumeric color. The italics are clearly structural (built into the glyph shapes) rather than a simple slant, reinforcing the engineered aesthetic.
