A slanted slab-serif with sturdy, unbracketed terminals and a low-contrast, largely monolinear stroke. Forms are built from crisp straight segments with frequent chamfered corners, giving rounded shapes a faceted, almost octagonal feel. The drawing is compact and rhythmic, with square shoulders, firm horizontal caps, and angled joins that emphasize forward motion; counters stay fairly open despite the dense, blocky construction.
Best suited to short-to-medium headline settings where its angular slab details and oblique stance can project impact—sports identities, event posters, product marks, and bold promotional graphics. It can also work for punchy labels or directional signage where a tough, engineered texture is desirable.
The overall tone is energetic and purposeful, combining a rugged, industrial sturdiness with a sporty, speed-driven slant. Its sharp corners and squared serifs read as confident and mechanical, with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of athletic wordmarks and utilitarian signage.
Likely designed to deliver a fast, modernized slab-serif voice: strong, compact letterforms with squared serifs and chamfered geometry that maintain clarity while adding an aggressive, motion-oriented personality.
Capitals lean on geometric construction (notably in C/O/Q) with clipped curves, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are heavy and stable. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, favoring straight cuts and hard corners that help them match the letters in texture.
