A right-leaning slab serif with square-cut terminals and a sharply engineered, display-oriented construction. Strokes show pronounced contrast, paired with an internal inline/secondary stroke that creates a layered, cutout effect through many letterforms. Counters are compact and often rectangularized, with rounded corners kept tight, giving the alphabet a squared, machined feel. The overall rhythm is brisk and slightly condensed in impression, with firm baselines and strong horizontal slabs that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings where the inline construction and slab terminals can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event or sports branding, product packaging, and bold wordmarks. It can work for short bursts of text in ads or UI accents, but the layered strokes and tight counters are most effective at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone feels retro-futuristic and mechanical, blending a vintage sports/arcade attitude with a technical, drafted look. The italic slant and crisp slab ends add forward motion, while the inline detailing suggests precision and speed rather than softness or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, stylized slab-serif voice with a technical inline treatment—prioritizing standout texture and a constructed, engineered look over neutral readability. It aims for recognizable personality in branding and titling while maintaining consistent, disciplined geometry across the set.
The inline detailing is a defining feature and can visually thicken joins and tight apertures, especially in smaller text. Numerals and capitals carry the strongest graphic presence, and the squared geometry gives words a distinctive, patterned texture across lines.
