A heavy, angular sans with a pronounced rightward slant and broad, forward-leaning proportions. Letterforms are built from sharp chamfered corners and flat, straight strokes, with frequent diagonal cuts that create a slightly stencil-like segmentation in many glyphs. Counters tend to be boxy and compact, terminals are sheared rather than rounded, and curves are generally replaced by faceted geometry. The overall rhythm is energetic and punchy, with tight interior spaces and a strong, graphic silhouette that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, gaming interfaces, and logo/wordmark treatments where its angular motion can read clearly. It works especially well when ample tracking and size allow the cut-in details to remain legible.
The tone is fast, mechanical, and assertive—evoking motorsport graphics, sci-fi UI lettering, and arcade-era display typography. Its sharp cuts and oblique stance give it a sense of motion and impact, reading as bold and competitive rather than friendly or neutral.
The font appears designed to deliver a high-energy, forward-motion aesthetic through oblique geometry and chamfered, segmented strokes. Its construction prioritizes a strong silhouette and a techno/sport display character over continuous-text neutrality.
The design relies on distinctive notches and diagonal joins (notably in forms like S, Z, and several lowercase letters), which boosts personality but can reduce clarity at small sizes or in dense paragraphs. Numerals follow the same squared, slanted construction, keeping a cohesive, headline-first feel.
