A heavy, slanted sans with pronounced stencil breaks that slice through stems and bowls, creating consistent bridges and negative-space notches across the alphabet. The forms are compact and forward-leaning, with tapered, oblique terminals and simplified, geometric curves that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, muscular rhythm, and the numerals echo the same cut-and-bridge construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display typography where the stencil detailing can be appreciated—posters, bold editorial headers, sports and motorsport-style branding, product packaging, and apparel graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style moments when a rugged, industrial flavor is desired, but long passages will feel visually busy due to the frequent breaks.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a no-nonsense, machine-made character. Its stencil interruptions and forward slant suggest speed, utility, and an industrial edge, leaning into a bold, action-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, italicized stencil look with strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures. Its systematic bridges and compact, engineered shapes suggest an emphasis on bold branding, motion, and industrial or tactical styling.
The stencil cuts are substantial and frequent, producing a distinctive striped texture in word shapes, especially in rounded letters and diagonals. At smaller sizes the internal breaks can become the dominant feature, while at display sizes they read as deliberate detailing.
