A compact, slanted display sans with heavy, block-like letterforms built from sharp angles and flattened curves. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that create notched, wedge-shaped counters and apertures. The condensed proportions and tight internal spacing produce a dense rhythm, while the oblique posture and forward-leaning joins emphasize speed. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged construction, giving the set a uniform, graphic texture at headline sizes.
Best suited to short, high-contrast messaging such as sports branding, event posters, game and streaming titles, packaging callouts, and punchy editorial headlines. It performs well where a condensed, high-impact wordmark or banner needs to convey motion and strength, and is less ideal for body text or small UI labels.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, reading as sporty and action-oriented. Its sharp facets and compressed stance evoke motorsport, arcade-era title cards, and high-impact promotional graphics where urgency and momentum are key.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while signaling speed through an aggressive oblique angle. The faceted, stencil-like cuts add distinctive character and help the font stand out in branding and titling contexts.
The design relies on stylized cut-ins and stepped corners that can close up in smaller sizes, especially in letters with tighter counters (such as a/e/s) and in multi-stem forms (like m/w). The strong slant and compact widths create a pronounced horizontal drive, making spacing and line breaks feel energetic but visually busy in long passages.
