A slanted, high-contrast sans with a distinctly aerodynamic construction. Strokes alternate between substantial vertical masses and razor-thin connectors, creating a sharp, cut-in feel across curves and joins. Many rounds are built from heavy outer shells with slender internal cross-strokes, and terminals tend to finish as angled wedges rather than soft endings. Proportions are compact with a lively rhythm, and the numerals and capitals show pronounced sculpting that emphasizes forward motion and speed.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its contrast and slant can read as intentional styling—headlines, posters, event graphics, esports or automotive-themed branding, and logo/wordmark work. It can also add a kinetic accent to UI titles or packaging, but its stylized internal cuts are more impactful at medium-to-large sizes than in dense body text.
The overall tone is fast, modern, and slightly aggressive, with a motorsport or sci‑fi edge. The contrast and sharp terminals add drama and urgency, while the consistent slant keeps the texture active and directional.
The font appears designed to communicate motion and modernity through slanted geometry, dramatic stroke contrast, and sharp, incised joins. Its consistent directional stress and sculpted counters suggest an emphasis on branding and display settings over neutral text color.
The design leans on distinctive internal bars and partial cross-strokes in letters like B, E, F, G, and S, producing a segmented look that remains cohesive across the set. Round letters (O/Q/0/8/9) emphasize a thick perimeter and a thin interior stroke, giving counters a streamlined, lens-like impression. Lowercase maintains the same forward lean and contrast, staying legible while retaining the display-forward personality.
