A heavy, slanted sans with blocky, angular construction and broad, low-contrast strokes. Letterforms lean forward with a slightly condensed stance and squared terminals, while distinctive stencil breaks cut through many glyphs in consistent horizontal and diagonal positions, creating clear bridges and strong negative-shape rhythm. Counters are tight and geometric, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel sharp and mechanical; numerals follow the same solid, cut-through treatment for a uniform, forceful texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, headlines, logos, and badges where the stencil pattern can read clearly. It also fits sports, motorsport, gaming, and industrial-themed branding, as well as packaging or signage that benefits from a rugged, engineered feel.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with an industrial, tactical energy. The forward slant and chunky massing suggest speed and impact, while the stencil interruptions add a rugged, engineered character that reads as functional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, powerful display voice while leveraging a consistent stencil system to add structure and thematic grit. Its slanted geometry and compact spacing aim for momentum and punch in titles and branding rather than extended text reading.
The stencil gaps are prominent enough to become a defining pattern across words, producing a segmented stripe effect that remains consistent in both uppercase and lowercase. Dense stroke coverage and narrow internal spaces can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, but the silhouette stays bold and recognizable in display settings.
