A heavy, forward-slanted sans with sharp, planar facets that replace curves with clipped angles. Letterforms are wide and low, with compact counters and frequent chamfered corners that create a cut-metal silhouette. Strokes feel mostly monolinear but gain visual punch from hard notches, ink-trap-like cuts, and wedge terminals; joins are crisp and geometric rather than rounded. The rhythm is punchy and mechanical, with tight internal space in letters like O/Q and bold, stable horizontals that read well at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where impact and speed are desirable—team identity, racing or action-themed graphics, game/UI headings, posters, packaging callouts, and bold tech or industrial brand marks. It can work for short subheads or labels when given generous tracking and size, but it is most effective when used sparingly for emphasis.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial branding. Its aggressive angles and pronounced slant add energy and a sense of motion, while the faceted construction suggests precision and engineered toughness.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact, motion-forward display face built from faceted geometry, prioritizing a rugged, engineered look over softness or neutrality. The consistent chamfers, wedges, and clipped counters aim to deliver a recognizable silhouette that stays cohesive across letters and numbers in branding-centric settings.
Distinctive facets and cut-ins appear consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks. Numerals are similarly angular and wide, matching the caps for strong headline presence. In longer text the dense texture and sharp details can feel intense, favoring larger sizes and shorter lines.
