A heavy, forward-slanted sans with blocky, sculpted letterforms and a distinctly cut-in construction. Many glyphs feature horizontal “breaks” or notches that read like stencil slices, creating strong internal rhythm and a segmented texture across words. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls and rounded corners are minimal, while diagonals and terminals are sharply sheared to reinforce speed and direction. The lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy silhouette with large, simple counters and a utilitarian, workmanlike finish; figures echo the same notched, athletic geometry for consistent headline color.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as sports identities, event posters, apparel graphics, and punchy headlines where the slant and notched strokes can amplify energy. It can also serve for bold logo wordmarks and packaging callouts that benefit from a rugged, machined texture.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, projecting speed, toughness, and a competitive edge. The sliced details add a retro-tech and industrial flavor, suggesting motion graphics, motorsport, and rugged branding rather than quiet, neutral text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, muscular sans voice with a distinctive segmented/stencil-like treatment, balancing straightforward geometric construction with a built-in sense of motion and grit for attention-grabbing display typography.
The repeated cutouts act as a signature motif and can become visually dominant at smaller sizes or in dense copy, where the segmented strokes may compete with readability. In larger settings the cuts unify into a strong pattern, giving titles a distinctive, engineered feel.
