A heavy, extended oblique sans with sharp, faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes are built from straight segments and clipped corners, creating wedge-like terminals and trapezoidal counters; round letters (O, C, G) read as chamfered polygons rather than arcs. The letterforms are tightly engineered with a strong forward slant, low-to-mid apertures, and consistent stroke width, producing a compact, muscular texture. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with squared bowls and angled cuts that keep silhouettes crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its angular silhouettes and slanted momentum can lead the composition—titles, posters, sports or automotive branding, game/tech UI headings, and punchy logo wordmarks. It can work for short callouts and packaging accents, but extended passages will feel dense and visually insistent.
The overall tone is fast, mechanical, and high-impact, evoking motorsport graphics, sci-fi interfaces, and action branding. Its forward lean and sharp cuts add urgency and tension, while the broad set widths give it a confident, billboard-like presence.
The design appears intended to translate a sense of speed and precision into a robust, easily recognizable display face. By replacing curves with planar facets and pushing the width and slant, it aims for an engineered, performance-driven aesthetic that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The faceting introduces distinct internal angles and notches that can add character in headlines but may reduce clarity in small sizes, especially in tightly set text. The rhythm is strongly horizontal and directional, with repeated diagonal cuts that create a cohesive, speed-line feel across words.
