An oblique, extended sans with pronounced stroke contrast and frequent horizontal “slice” cut-ins that create a speed-line effect across bowls and counters. Forms mix soft, rounded curves (notably in O/C/G and many lowercase bowls) with sharp, angled terminals and wedge-like joins, producing an aerodynamic silhouette. The rhythm is energetic and irregularly segmented: several letters introduce breaks or notches through the midsection, and some strokes taper into thin, blade-like diagonals, especially in v/w/x and parts of n/m. Numerals follow the same theme, with streamlined curves and occasional internal banding that reinforces the layered, slashed construction.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and branding where a dynamic, high-impact voice is desired. It can work well for tech, gaming, motorsport, or product marks where the slashed detailing becomes a recognizable signature, and for short bursts of text where the stylization stays legible.
The overall tone reads futuristic and performance-oriented, like a display face built for motion, technology, and competitive energy. The slashed midlines and forward lean suggest speed and mechanics, giving the font a stylized, sci‑fi flavor that feels contemporary and assertive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to merge a clean sans foundation with aggressive, motion-driven slicing and contrast to evoke speed and futuristic machinery. The goal seems to be instant recognizability in display settings, using banded counters and angled terminals to create a distinctive “fast” visual identity.
The distinctive mid-stroke cutaways are a defining motif and can become visually prominent at smaller sizes or in dense text. Round letters often appear as layered bands, while diagonals and joins introduce thin, high-tension strokes that heighten the sense of precision and movement.
