A slanted, display-forward sans with sharply cut corners and broad, flattened curves that read as chamfered and aerodynamic. Letterforms are drawn as open outlines with a consistent inline/outline construction, paired with a hard offset shadow that creates a strong dimensional effect. Strokes taper into pointed joins and clipped terminals, producing a crisp, mechanical rhythm; counters are compact and geometric, and the overall silhouette feels wide-shouldered despite the airy interior.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short phrases where the 3D shadow and outline can dominate the page. It works well for logos, esports/sports branding, arcade or sci‑fi themed graphics, event posters, and packaging or label callouts that benefit from a dynamic, forward-leaning voice. For longer text, generous size and spacing will help preserve the interior openings and shadow separation.
The font projects a fast, retro-tech attitude—part arcade title, part motorsport branding—thanks to the forward slant and bold 3D suggestion. The outline-and-shadow treatment adds theatricality and a poster-like punch, making the tone feel energetic and slightly comic-book. Overall it reads as futuristic and playful rather than formal or understated.
The design appears intended to deliver instant impact through a dimensional shadow and hollow construction while keeping forms crisp and speed-oriented. Its slant, bevel-like corners, and consistent offset aim to evoke motion and a retro-futuristic, display-centric personality for branding and titling.
The shadow is consistently offset and visually separated from the main outline, so the face relies on contrast between fill and background for clarity. The open construction and angled details are most legible at medium-to-large sizes, where the inline gaps and tight internal spaces don’t collapse. Numerals and capitals share the same beveled geometry, reinforcing a uniform, engineered look.
