A heavy, slanted sans with compact proportions and a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes are uniform and dense, with rounded bowls and corners softened by consistent curve work. A distinctive horizontal “notch” or cut runs through many glyphs at mid-height, creating an inline, stencil-like interruption that reads as a deliberate motif rather than a functional break. Terminals often finish with angled, sheared cuts, and diagonals feel crisp and engineered, giving the alphabet a cohesive, speed-driven texture across letters and figures.
Best suited for headlines, short bursts of copy, and brand marks where the signature notch detail can carry the identity. It fits particularly well in sports, fitness, automotive, gaming, and tech-oriented design systems, and can add punch to packaging or promotional graphics. For longer text, it will generally work better at larger sizes with generous spacing so the midline cuts stay intentional and legible.
The overall tone is energetic and performance-oriented, with a technical, futuristic edge. The midline cut suggests motion and precision, lending a sporty, display-forward attitude that feels suited to contemporary branding and action-centric messaging.
The design appears intended to merge a robust, modern sans foundation with a unique, branded interruption—using a consistent midline cut and sheared terminals to imply speed, engineered precision, and a custom-display personality.
The repeated midline interruption becomes more prominent at larger sizes and can form a strong horizontal banding effect in word shapes. Counters remain fairly open for a heavy style, but the notch detail adds visual noise in dense settings, making the face feel most confident when given room to breathe.
