A slanted, angular sans with a chiseled construction and prominent wedge-like terminals. Strokes show purposeful modulation, with sharp corners, clipped joins, and occasional cut-in notches that create a faceted, beveled look. Counters are generally open and geometric, and round forms (like O and 0) read as softened polygons rather than true circles. Overall rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with a slightly condensed, display-oriented texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where its angular detailing can be appreciated. It fits sports branding, gaming/stream overlays, tech or motorsport-themed graphics, packaging callouts, and promotional posters where a fast, aggressive voice is desired.
The font projects speed and impact, combining a sporty, performance feel with a techno edge. Its hard angles and knife-cut terminals add tension and urgency, giving it an assertive, action-oriented tone that can also read as retro-futurist.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy italic display sans with a distinctive carved/edged signature, prioritizing immediacy and brand character over neutral text setting. Its consistent faceting and wedge terminals suggest a deliberate effort to evoke speed, machinery, and performance.
Uppercase shapes are broad and headline-friendly, while lowercase forms keep the same sharp, engineered logic; the single-storey a and the angular hooks on letters like j and y reinforce the stylized, constructed personality. Numerals are equally faceted, designed to match the same cut and slant, supporting consistent branding across alphanumerics.
