A heavy, oblique sans with sharply faceted construction and squared-off counters. Curves are largely replaced by planar cuts and chamfered corners, creating a crisp, mechanical silhouette with consistent stroke thickness. The forms feel compact and forward-leaning, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that emphasize momentum and impact. Numerals and capitals share the same clipped geometry, keeping the set visually uniform and punchy at display sizes.
Well suited for high-impact display work such as sports identities, esports teams, event posters, product marks, and campaign headlines. It also fits UI or packaging moments that need a futuristic, technical accent, especially when used in short bursts rather than long text blocks.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and engineered—evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and hard-edged tech branding. Its forward slant and angular cuts add urgency and a sense of motion, while the blocky weight reads as confident and uncompromising.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum energy and immediacy through oblique posture and faceted geometry, offering a modern, performance-driven look that stays coherent across letters and figures.
The distinctive “cut” treatment on corners and terminals gives the letters a machined, stencil-like flavor without breaking strokes. At smaller sizes, the tight interior spaces and sharp detailing can visually fill in, so it tends to perform best when given room to breathe.
