This typeface uses a slanted, angular construction with squared-off curves and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes appear heavy and uniform, with a crisp inline cut running through the letterforms and a dark outer edge that reads like a compact outline/shadow, creating a layered, dimensional effect. Counters are generally tight and geometric, and many joins resolve into sharp notches that emphasize speed and direction. The lowercase is similarly engineered and compact, with simplified shapes and a tall x-height that keeps small letters prominent next to the capitals; figures follow the same segmented, sporty logic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, team numbers/wordmarks, event posters, packaging callouts, and gaming or motorsport-themed graphics. It performs especially well where the inline detail can be appreciated—large titles, logos, and punchy subheads—rather than long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and display-forward, evoking competitive sports graphics, arcade or racing aesthetics, and a general sense of motion. The internal striping and faceted corners add a technical, high-impact feel that reads as energetic rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, speed-inspired display voice using an engineered, faceted skeleton and an inline treatment that adds visual energy without relying on contrast. Its proportions and internal detailing aim to maximize presence and distinctiveness in branding and headline contexts.
The inline and outer edge together create strong internal detail that can start to visually vibrate at smaller sizes, while the slant and angular terminals reinforce a forward-leaning rhythm in text. Spacing appears intentionally tight in the sample, which amplifies the compact, headline-driven personality.
