This italic slab serif shows sturdy, unbracketed rectangular serifs and a largely monoline construction. Letterforms lean consistently to the right with a slightly condensed feel and squared-off curves, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Counters are compact and apertures are relatively tight, while corners and joins stay firm and planar rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same logic with flat terminals and clear, blocky structure, keeping the texture even and assertive in text.
It suits short to medium-length settings where an assertive, technical character is desirable—headlines, posters, team or motorsport-style branding, packaging, and signage. The robust slab details and oblique stance can add urgency and direction to titles, labels, and display copy.
The overall tone feels mechanical and forward-leaning, with a utilitarian confidence. Its squared details and brisk slant suggest speed, signage, and equipment labeling, giving it a pragmatic, slightly retro-industrial voice.
The design appears intended to merge the toughness of slab serifs with an italicized, motion-oriented stance, emphasizing clarity and impact over delicacy. Its squared geometry and consistent strokes suggest a goal of creating a dependable display face with an engineered, industrial flavor.
The rhythm is driven by strong horizontal serif bars and consistent stroke endings, which create a steady baseline and a punchy, stamped look. In the sample text, the italic angle and compact counters create a dense, high-energy color that reads best when given a bit of breathing room.
