A heavy, slanted sans with sharply angular construction and frequent cut-in corners that create a faceted, chiseled silhouette. Strokes are predominantly straight with minimal rounding, and many joins terminate in wedge-like points or clipped terminals. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, with rectangular/diamond impressions in letters like O and Q, while horizontals and diagonals are emphasized to reinforce forward motion. Spacing appears built for impact, keeping forms dense and visually locked together in display settings.
Best suited for bold display work such as sports identities, esports and gaming titles, film or event posters, and punchy headline systems. It can also work for logos and wordmarks where a dynamic, technical attitude is desired, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and technical, evoking motorsport graphics, action titles, and high-energy branding. Its hard edges and forward slant convey urgency and competitiveness rather than softness or neutrality.
The font appears designed to maximize impact and motion through a strong slant, angular geometry, and clipped terminals, producing a distinctive “speed” aesthetic. The consistent faceting suggests an intention to feel mechanical and performance-oriented while remaining clearly sans in structure.
The design leans on consistent angular motifs across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, engineered feel. Readability holds well at larger sizes, while the tight apertures and aggressive cuts suggest it will be less comfortable for extended text at small sizes.
