A wide, forward-leaning slab serif with squared, unbracketed terminals and a low-contrast, near-monoline construction. The letterforms feel stretched horizontally, with broad counters and generous internal space, while joins and curves are kept taut and slightly squared-off. Strokes end in crisp, blocky serifs that read more like engineered tabs than traditional feet, and the overall rhythm is assertive and mechanical rather than calligraphic.
Best suited for large-scale display use where its wide stance and slab terminals can project impact—headlines, posters, title sequences, and brand marks. It can also work for packaging and promotional graphics that want a fast, industrial voice, especially in short lines or wordmarks rather than dense text.
The tone is energetic and speed-oriented, combining a sporty italic stance with a functional, industrial edge. Its squared details and extended width give it a retro-tech flavor that feels at home in performance branding, racing-inspired graphics, and bold editorial treatments.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-visibility italic slab voice that emphasizes speed and structure. By pairing extended proportions with crisp, unbracketed slabs and low contrast, it aims for a contemporary display presence with a hint of vintage motorsport and techno styling.
Round characters (like C, O, and Q) are drawn with flattened curvature that reinforces the engineered look, and diagonals maintain a consistent, sturdy presence. Numerals follow the same wide, oblique logic, helping headings and short strings stay cohesive across mixed alphanumeric settings.
