A heavy, slanted sans built from angular, wedge-like strokes and sharply chamfered corners. Forms are broad and compact with squared counters, tight apertures, and frequent diagonal cut-ins that create a forward-driving rhythm. Curves are minimized in favor of faceted geometry; joins and terminals often look sliced rather than rounded, producing a crisp, engineered silhouette. Numerals and letters share consistent oblique stress and block construction, giving the set a unified, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to punchy display typography such as sports branding, racing or action-themed graphics, event posters, team merchandise, and bold headings. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, UI labels, scoreboards) where a forceful, kinetic voice is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve the sharp internal cuts.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and performance-oriented. Its sharp angles and forward slant suggest speed, competition, and a technical, motorsport-adjacent attitude rather than softness or neutrality.
The font appears designed to project speed and intensity through oblique, faceted geometry and compact, high-impact silhouettes. Its consistent wedge-cut detailing suggests an intentional, stylized construction aimed at energetic branding and attention-grabbing titles.
The design relies on distinctive diagonal notches and stepped interior cuts that add motion and visual bite, especially in the lowercase and in characters with horizontal bars. The texture stays dense at display sizes, and the letterforms prioritize impact and style over delicate differentiation in small settings.
