A slanted, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Letterforms are wide and sturdy with a consistent, low-contrast stroke and a distinctly chamfered silhouette throughout. Counters tend to be squarish and open, joins are sharp, and terminals are cut on angles that create a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with the 0 rendered as an octagonal form and other figures constructed from straight segments and hard cuts.
Well suited to headline typography, logos, and display uses where a sharp, engineered voice is desired—such as sports identities, gaming/UI accents, tech events, or product packaging. It can also work for short bursts of copy (labels, callouts, captions) when set with comfortable tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and technical, with a motorsport/industrial edge. Its angled cuts and forward slant suggest speed, machinery, and engineered precision rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans with a signature faceted construction that evokes speed and hardware-like precision while maintaining a clean, simplified structure for strong legibility at display sizes.
In text settings the repeated bevels create a strong, patterned texture; the design reads best when given enough size and spacing for the inner corners and stepped diagonals to stay distinct. The faceting is highly systematic, which helps maintain consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
