A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and tightly enclosed counters. Letterforms are built from chunky geometric masses with softened outer corners and frequent slit-like apertures that read as stencil cuts or inktrap-style notches. Contrast is expressed through abrupt thinning at joins and internal cut-ins rather than gradual modulation, giving the shapes a machined, segmented feel. The lowercase follows the same structural logic as the caps, with single-storey a and g and a generally compact, squared-off construction that keeps texture dense and dark in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. The stencil-like cut-ins and compact counters read most clearly at medium-to-large sizes, making it effective for logotypes, sports or motorsport identities, product packaging, and attention-grabbing editorial titling.
The overall tone is forceful and engineered, combining a retro-futurist, industrial attitude with a sporty, scoreboard-like punch. Its segmented cuts add a tactical, mechanical personality that feels dynamic and slightly aggressive, emphasizing impact over refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and immediate recognition through modular geometry and deliberate internal cutouts. Those signature slits create a distinctive, industrial voice while keeping the forms clean enough to function as a contemporary display sans.
Spacing appears intentionally tight for a solid headline block, and the interior cutouts create distinctive word shapes at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly block-constructed, with simplified forms and strong horizontals that reinforce a utilitarian, display-first rhythm.
