A heavy, forward-slanted slab serif with blocky construction and squared-off terminals. Strokes stay largely uniform in thickness, with minimal contrast and hard, flat joins that emphasize a cut-from-solid feel. Counters are compact and rectangular-to-rounded-rectangle, and the overall rhythm is tight and punchy, with sturdy serifs acting like firm baseplates and caps. The numeral set matches the same chunky geometry, reading clearly at display sizes with a distinctly mechanical footprint.
Best suited for display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, and promotional graphics. It also fits branding that wants a sporty or workwear flavor, such as apparel marks, packaging callouts, labels, and bold logo wordmarks.
The tone is bold and energetic, with a sporty, retro headline presence that feels confident and a bit industrial. Its slant and dense forms create a sense of speed and pressure, making text feel more like a graphic element than neutral reading copy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch and immediate legibility in large sizes, combining a sturdy slab-serif base with a dynamic slant. Its simplified, uniform stroke behavior and blocky proportions suggest an emphasis on strength, speed, and graphic clarity over long-form readability.
The design maintains consistent visual weight across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving mixed-case settings a unified, poster-like texture. Letterforms favor squared shoulders and sturdy horizontals, producing a strong silhouette and high impact in short phrases.
