A heavy, slanted sans with extended proportions and a compact, forward-driving rhythm. Strokes are uniformly thick and end in crisp, angled terminals, creating a cut, machined feel rather than soft calligraphy. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with counters that read like squared apertures; bowls and zeros feel sturdy and enclosed. The lowercase is compact and utilitarian with a high, flat x-height and short extenders, while the uppercase has broad shoulders and wide set widths for a strong headline footprint. Numerals and letters share consistent wedge cuts and notches, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered texture in both single glyphs and running text.
Well-suited to sports and racing identities, esports and gaming titles, tech and hardware branding, and punchy poster or packaging headlines. It also works for UI-style labels or section headers where a futuristic, high-impact voice is desired, especially in short bursts of text.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and action branding. Its sharp cornering and forward slant create a sense of speed and impact, while the squared counters and uniform weight keep it feeling technical and controlled rather than playful.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a streamlined, aerodynamic silhouette and a consistent system of angled cuts. Its geometry suggests an intention to look engineered and fast, emphasizing momentum and power while keeping letterforms clean and sans-like for clear recognition at display sizes.
The design relies on repeated diagonal cuts—especially in E/F/S/Z and across many terminals—which gives text a distinctive, almost stenciled snap. Tight interior spaces and dense black areas make it most effective when size and spacing allow counters to stay open; it reads best as a display face rather than for long, small text.
