A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy strokes and sharply faceted forms. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered corners and planar cuts, giving bowls and terminals an octagonal, machined feel. Strokes stay visually even with minimal modulation, while counters remain relatively open for the width, helping maintain clarity in tight settings. The overall rhythm is compact and energetic, with crisp joins and squared-off finishing that reads cleanly in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where its condensed width and aggressive slant can add impact without consuming space. It works especially well for sports and motorsport branding, product packaging, event graphics, and directional or informational signage that benefits from a strong, industrial voice.
The font projects speed and toughness, with a utilitarian, engineered character. Its angled stance and cut-corner geometry evoke racing graphics, equipment labeling, and retro-futurist sign systems, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, high-impact display sans that substitutes smooth curves with crisp facets for a technical, manufactured look. Its compact proportions and consistent stroke weight suggest a focus on bold, space-efficient typography for branding and prominent titling.
Uppercase structures are tall and tightly proportioned, with distinctive clipped corners on letters like C, G, O, and Q that reinforce the faceted theme. Numerals follow the same angular logic, staying sturdy and legible, while punctuation and the ampersand carry the same hard-edged, sporty tone seen throughout the alphabet.
