A heavy, forward-slanted stencil sans with compressed proportions and tall lowercase structure. Strokes are largely monolinear and massed, with crisp, angular terminals and a pronounced rightward lean that creates a fast, directional rhythm. Clear stencil breaks appear consistently across characters, producing clean internal bridges and segmented counters, while rounded forms (like O and C) stay tightly drawn and upright in structure despite the slant. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, engineered construction, keeping the texture dense and uniform in display settings.
Works best for headlines, posters, and short punchy copy where the stencil segmentation can function as a graphic motif. It also suits branding, packaging, and apparel/merch applications that benefit from a rugged, industrial or performance aesthetic, as well as signage-style treatments where bold, compressed lettering is desirable.
The segmented, slanted construction reads as functional and high-impact, evoking industrial labeling, machinery markings, and tactical or motorsport graphics. Its dense color and forward motion give it an urgent, performance-minded tone that feels both utilitarian and stylized.
Designed to deliver a bold, motion-driven stencil look that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The intention appears to combine utilitarian stencil construction with a stylized italic slant and compressed geometry for high-impact display typography.
The stencil joins are prominent enough to remain legible at larger sizes and create a distinctive patterning in continuous text. In paragraphs, the compact spacing and strong diagonals produce a dark, tightly knit typographic color that favors headlines over long reading.
