A condensed, forward-leaning sans with heavy, uniform strokes and sharply faceted corners that substitute for smooth curves. Counters are compact and openings are tight, creating dense silhouettes that hold together as bold shapes. Diagonal cuts and clipped terminals appear consistently throughout, giving the face a mechanical, chiseled rhythm and a strong rightward motion in text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and branding that need a forceful, performance-driven voice—such as sports graphics, motorsport or gaming visuals, and athletic apparel. It also fits packaging, event promotion, and punchy editorial callouts where compact width and bold presence are priorities. Best used at medium to large sizes where the tight counters and angular detailing remain clear.
This typeface feels fast, tough, and high-impact, with an energetic, competitive tone. Its angular, leaning stance reads assertive and modern, projecting confidence and urgency. The overall impression is sporty and industrial rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, hard-edged personality. By using faceted joins and clipped terminals, it emphasizes a constructed, technical look and a sense of motion appropriate for attention-grabbing typography.
The faceting is applied broadly across rounds and diagonals, producing octagonal-like curves in letters and numerals and reinforcing a consistent, machined feel. In paragraph-like sample lines, the condensed italic structure creates a strong horizontal thrust and a dark, continuous typographic color.
