A compact, right-leaning slab serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and unbracketed, block-like terminals. The letterforms are tall and tightly proportioned, with squared-off shoulders and flattened curves that give counters a slightly squarish, engineered feel. Serifs read as short, rectangular feet and caps, and joins stay crisp rather than tapered, producing a steady, built-from-parts rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a practical, workmanlike structure; numerals are similarly sturdy with minimal modulation and clear, straight-sided geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and logo/brand marks where its dense structure and strong terminals can read as purposeful and robust. It can also work for labels and signage that benefit from an industrial, vintage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is utilitarian and confident, evoking stamped metal, vintage machinery, and classic sports or workwear lettering. Its slant adds motion and urgency, while the chunky slabs keep it grounded and authoritative rather than elegant.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, kinetic slab-serif voice: condensed proportions for punch, an italic slant for forward motion, and crisp, unbracketed slabs to project durability and a manufactured aesthetic.
The design maintains a consistent visual mass across the alphabet, with compact spacing and a strong baseline presence from the rectangular serifs. Curves are noticeably tightened and squared, which reinforces a technical, tool-like personality in text settings.
