A slanted, heavy sans with compact counters and a forward-leaning stance. Letterforms are built from broad, geometric strokes that stay largely monolinear, with rounded outer corners softened by sharp internal cuts. Distinct diagonal slice breaks run through many glyphs, creating a stencil-like construction and a strong sense of segmentation. The rhythm is punchy and dense: apertures are tight, curves are squashed into powerful ovals, and joins resolve into crisp angles, giving the alphabet a cohesive, engineered silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, event posters, sports and motorsport identities, apparel graphics, and bold packaging. The distinctive sliced construction also works well for branding marks and display copy where the internal cut details can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The diagonal cut-ins and strong oblique posture give the font a fast, combative energy, like race graphics or high-impact sports branding. It reads as assertive and mechanized, with a slightly futuristic, tactical flavor that feels built for motion and intensity rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and motion through an oblique stance and repeated diagonal cut motifs. By combining monolinear heft with stencil-like breaks, it aims to create a recognizable display voice that feels technical, fast, and built for attention-grabbing typography.
The sliced details can visually merge at smaller sizes and in dense paragraphs, where the internal breaks become texture; it performs best when given room to breathe. Round letters and numerals maintain a consistent oval theme, while diagonals and terminals reinforce a unified forward thrust across the set.
