A heavy, slanted sans with faceted, planar construction that replaces curves with crisp chamfers and straight segments. Strokes are thick and even, with sharp corners and frequent diagonal cuts that give counters and terminals a clipped, mechanical feel. The letterforms are broad with a forward-leaning stance; rounded shapes like O, C, and G read as octagonal forms, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y create a fast, directional rhythm. Lowercase follows the same angular logic with sturdy bowls and simplified joins, and the numerals maintain the same cut-corner geometry for a cohesive, engineered texture.
Best suited for display work where speed and impact are the goal: sports and esports identities, automotive or tech-themed branding, event posters, product marks, and punchy headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when a hard-edged, dynamic voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast and assertive, combining a motorsport/athletics attitude with a sci‑fi, industrial edge. Its sharp facets and forward slant suggest speed, impact, and precision rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-forward look by combining bold massing with angular, chamfered geometry and an aggressive slant. Its consistent faceting across letters and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive branding and strong, recognizable wordmarks.
The strong obliquing and clipped terminals create prominent entry/exit angles that can visually interlock in words, producing a dense, high-energy word shape. Interior spaces stay relatively open for a faceted design, helping short bursts of text remain legible at display sizes.
