A heavy, slanted display sans built from sharp planar cuts that replace most curves with chamfered corners. Strokes are broadly uniform with crisp terminals and frequent diagonal joins, creating a faceted, almost stenciled silhouette without actual breaks. Counters tend toward squared and clipped forms, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with wide shoulders and tight interior spaces that hold up best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of copy where impact and motion are desirable—sports identities, racing or fitness graphics, esports titles, event posters, and bold packaging callouts. In longer text, the dense counters and aggressive faceting can reduce readability, so it’s strongest for display sizes and high-contrast applications.
The letterforms project speed and impact, with an assertive, competitive tone. The faceting and forward slant add a mechanical, high-energy feel that reads as sporty and tech-leaning, with a slightly retro arcade or racing flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force while suggesting motion, using a forward slant and faceted construction to evoke machined precision. Its consistent chamfer language prioritizes a cohesive, hard-edged personality over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Uppercase shapes emphasize straight-sided geometry and clipped corners, while lowercase stays similarly angular with simplified bowls and short apertures. Numerals are sturdy and poster-friendly, with clear, squared counters and consistent chamfering that keeps the set visually unified.
