A heavy, slanted sans with crisp, planar cuts that replace curves with straight segments and chamfered corners. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness, while counters and apertures are squared and tightly controlled, producing a compact, punchy silhouette. The geometry leans on diagonals and clipped terminals, giving letters a carved, mechanical feel; round forms like O/0 read as faceted octagons. Spacing appears moderately tight in text, with broad shoulders and short interior curves translated into angled facets for a uniform, hard-edged rhythm.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its angular detailing can read clearly—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, esports or sports identity, and tech or industrial-themed branding. It can work for brief UI labels or titling at larger sizes, but the dense counters and aggressive angles are likely to be less comfortable for extended small-size text.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and high-impact branding. Its sharp facets and forward slant communicate motion and intensity rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-energy voice through consistent faceting and a forward-leaning stance, translating traditional sans forms into a sharp, machined aesthetic for modern display use.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same angular construction, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and engineered. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, especially 0/8/9, which keep strong internal geometry and prominent corners for a technical, display-first look.
