A heavy, forward-slanted display sans with very wide proportions and sharply angular, faceted construction. Strokes are cut with diagonal terminals and wedge-like joins, producing a “carved” silhouette and frequent internal notches or slice details. Counters are compact and sometimes partially closed by the cut-ins, creating a tight, high-contrast-in-shape rhythm (more from geometry than stroke modulation). Overall spacing reads compact for the width, with lively, irregular internal breaks that emphasize motion and texture.
Best suited to high-impact applications such as sports identities, racing or performance-themed graphics, event posters, game/esports titles, and logo wordmarks. It works especially well for short headlines, badges, and number-heavy treatments where the slanted, cut-in shapes can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font projects speed and intensity, with a techno-sport attitude that feels assertive and kinetic. Its sharp cuts and forward lean suggest action, competition, and a slightly combative energy rather than neutrality or calm.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, technical display voice by combining wide, bold forms with aggressive diagonal cuts and sculpted internal slices. The consistent faceting across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests a deliberate system aimed at dynamic, attention-grabbing typography rather than continuous reading.
At text sizes the internal slashes and tight counters can reduce clarity, especially in curved letters and numerals, but these same traits add distinctive personality in short bursts. The figures and lowercase follow the same faceted logic, keeping the voice consistent across headlines and numerals.
