A heavy, forward-leaning sans with sharp, chamfered corners and predominantly straight strokes. Letterforms are built from blocky segments with frequent diagonal cuts that create triangular notches and wedge-like terminals, giving counters a squared, engineered feel. Curves are minimized; bowls and rounds are flattened into faceted shapes, and joins stay crisp and abrupt. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a punchy, kinetic rhythm in text while maintaining a consistent geometric construction.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction and forward slant can carry attitude—team or esports branding, racing- or tech-themed posters, punchy headlines, and high-impact promo graphics. It can also work for short UI labels in game or sci‑fi interface contexts when used at sufficiently large sizes.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and futuristic, evoking motorsport graphics and sci‑fi interface typography. Its hard angles and slanted posture suggest motion, impact, and a slightly combative energy, while the clean monoline construction keeps it modern and technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-velocity look through faceted geometry and aggressive diagonals, prioritizing impact and strong silhouettes over neutrality. It aims to feel engineered and tactical—like a stylized industrial sans tuned for attention-grabbing titles.
In the sample text, the strong diagonal cuts create distinctive word shapes and a pronounced “motion” bias across lines. The faceted detailing is most noticeable in diagonals and interior corners, where small cut-ins add a quasi-stencil, industrial texture without breaking strokes entirely.
