A heavy, slanted display sans with extended proportions and compact inner counters. Strokes are broadly rectangular with noticeably rounded corners, while selective thinning and cut-in notches create a contrasted, machined feel. Terminals are blunt and squared, and many glyphs include small “ink-trap” style scoops and step-like cutouts that sharpen joins and increase separation at tight corners. Spacing reads on the tight side, with a strong rightward flow that keeps word shapes cohesive at large sizes.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, sports and esports branding, gaming titles, posters, and logo wordmarks where its density and slant can read as intentional energy. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the interior cutouts and contrasting details remain clear.
The font conveys speed and impact, with a confident, competitive tone. Its industrial cutouts and forward slant suggest motion, performance, and a slightly aggressive edge—more high-energy than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, high-impact display voice: wide, slanted letterforms with engineered cutouts that add aggression and a technical finish while keeping shapes consistent and tightly packed for strong headline presence.
Curves are treated as softened rectangles rather than true circles, giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same compact counter strategy, helping the set look uniform and dense in headlines. The distinctive corner cut-ins add texture in lines of text and emphasize a technical, custom-lettered aesthetic.
