This typeface is a heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and a strongly geometric build. Letterforms are constructed from thick, low-contrast strokes with sharply cut terminals and simplified curves, creating a punchy, block-like texture. Distinct stencil breaks appear consistently across bowls and joins (notably in C, G, O, Q, S and several numerals), forming clean bridges that read as deliberate cut-outs rather than distressed texture. Counters are relatively tight and circular forms feel compact, while diagonals and angled joins (e.g., K, M, N, V, W, X) emphasize forward motion and maintain a firm, engineered rhythm.
Best suited for display applications where the stencil bridges can be appreciated: bold headlines, posters, packaging, identity marks, team or event graphics, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a technical, industrial voice is desired, but its strong segmentation is most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a clear sense of motion from the slant and the sporty, cut-metal stencil details. It suggests equipment labeling, racing graphics, and industrial wayfinding—confident and functional rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to merge a fast, italicized advertising sans with a precise stencil construction, producing a robust look that feels manufactured and ready for marking, labeling, or high-impact promotional typography.
In the text sample, the stencil interruptions remain visible at larger display sizes and become a defining pattern, creating a segmented, mechanical cadence across words. Numerals follow the same cut-bridge logic (especially 0, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9), supporting cohesive headline and numbering systems.
