A forward-leaning slab serif with unbracketed, squared serifs and a clean, low-contrast stroke system. The letterforms are narrow-to-moderate in proportion with a slightly squared, engineered geometry—especially visible in the rounded characters, which read more like rounded rectangles than true ovals. Terminals are crisp and straight, and the overall drawing favors sharp joins and flattened curves, creating a compact, rhythmic texture in text. Numerals follow the same oblique, squarish construction and feel sturdy and utilitarian.
Well-suited to headlines and short-to-medium setting where a strong, kinetic voice is needed—such as sports branding, automotive or industrial identities, packaging, and poster typography. It can also work for UI labels or technical graphics when a robust italic slab presence is desired without high contrast.
The tone is brisk and mechanical, combining a sporty sense of motion with an industrial, functional attitude. Its oblique stance and hard-edged slabs suggest speed, equipment labeling, and technical display rather than literary warmth.
The design appears aimed at delivering an assertive italic slab serif that feels engineered and contemporary, emphasizing motion, compactness, and crisp slab terminals for clear recognition in display contexts.
The italic style is not calligraphic; instead it reads as a deliberately slanted, constructed design with consistent slab treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Curves are intentionally tightened and squared off, producing a distinctive “machined” silhouette that stays cohesive in longer lines of copy.
