A tightly set, oblique sans with strong, uniform stroke weight and a condensed footprint. Curves are largely replaced by crisp planar cuts, producing chamfered corners, clipped terminals, and polygonal counters (notably in rounded forms like O and 0). Stems and diagonals are straight and decisive, with a consistent rightward slant and a slightly mechanical rhythm; joints often resolve into sharp notches or angled joins rather than smooth transitions. The numerals and capitals appear compact and sturdy, with simplified apertures and an overall emphasis on speed and forward motion.
Best suited to display typography where its angular construction and forward slant can carry the message—sports identities, esports graphics, action-themed posters, packaging callouts, and punchy headlines. It also works well for short technical labels or UI accents when used at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The face projects a fast, competitive tone—more trackside and tech-forward than editorial. Its sharp facets and slanted posture create a sense of acceleration and impact, reading as assertive and performance-oriented rather than friendly or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-velocity, hard-edged sans for attention-grabbing titles. By substituting curves with facets and keeping strokes firm and compact, it aims for a modern, performance aesthetic that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The faceting introduces distinctive highlights and corners that stay legible at display sizes, while tighter interiors and angled details can visually fill in when reduced. The italic angle is integral to the construction (not merely a slant), reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look across letters and figures.
