A wide, oblique slab-serif with crisp, unbracketed serifs and largely monolinear strokes. The letterforms lean forward with a squarish, engineered construction: rounded-rectangle counters (notably in O/0 and o), flattened curves, and frequent chamfered or notched joins that keep corners sharp without looking brittle. Terminals and serifs read as firm, rectangular additions rather than calligraphic endings, giving the design a tight, mechanical rhythm. Spacing appears generous and the extended proportions emphasize horizontal sweep, while the numerals echo the same angular, rounded geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short-to-medium display copy where its extended width and slanted stance can project motion and presence. It can work well for technology and automotive branding, sports and esports graphics, product packaging, and poster titling where a sleek, engineered slab-serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is modern and performance-oriented, with a distinctly technical, forward-leaning energy. Its wide stance and sharp slab details suggest speed, machinery, and contemporary product design rather than literary or historical warmth.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif solidity with a streamlined, futuristic silhouette. By combining wide proportions, forward slant, and squared serifs with softened corners and notched details, it aims for a strong, contemporary display look that remains legible and controlled in real-world layouts.
Several glyphs show purposeful cut-ins and small notches at joins that hint at an ink-trap/industrial detailing, helping shapes stay crisp where strokes meet. The lowercase maintains a clean, contemporary feel with single-storey forms and simplified geometry, keeping texture consistent in longer text settings.
