This is an oblique slab-serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a streamlined, low-contrast stroke model. The forms lean consistently with a brisk, engineered rhythm, combining mostly straight-sided strokes with softly rounded corners and oval counters. Uppercase letters are compact and sturdy, while lowercase shows a pragmatic, slightly condensed construction with single-story forms where expected (notably a and g) and a clear, open aperture in letters like e and s. Numerals follow the same squared-off, tool-like logic, with simple, legible shapes and minimal modulation.
It suits branding and display settings where a modern, industrial voice is desirable—logos, packaging, posters, and headings. The robust slab structure can also work for short bursts of text such as captions, callouts, or signage where emphasis and clarity are more important than a neutral book face.
The overall tone feels contemporary and functional, with a hint of retro-industrial character. Its slanted stance and slab footing give it motion and firmness at the same time, reading as purposeful rather than decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a crisp, engineered italic slab with clear silhouettes and a disciplined, repeatable geometry. It aims for confident emphasis in display typography while preserving straightforward legibility through open counters and restrained contrast.
The design balances hard geometry (flat serifs, squared terminals) with mild rounding that keeps text from feeling brittle. In the sample paragraph the italic angle is assertive, creating strong forward emphasis and a distinctive texture in continuous reading.
