A heavy, forward-slanted sans with sharply faceted construction in place of smooth curves. Strokes are uniform and block-like, with consistent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, planar feel across bowls and terminals. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures are tight, and spacing reads slightly condensed in running text despite generally steady set widths. The rhythm is punchy and mechanical, with strong diagonals and crisp edges that stay visually consistent from caps to numerals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are desirable: sports and esports identities, team or event branding, bold posters, product marks, and punchy headings. It can work in short bursts of text for packaging or promotional copy, but its tight counters and high visual energy favor larger sizes and succinct messages.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, evoking motorsport and competitive athletics while also leaning into a hard-edged, techno-industrial attitude. Its faceted geometry and slanted posture give it a sense of motion and impact, making it feel assertive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate a bold, modern sans into a faceted, high-velocity voice—prioritizing sharp geometry, uniform weight, and a dynamic slant to create strong presence in branding and headline contexts.
The design maintains a disciplined facet pattern that helps letters remain recognizable even with reduced curvature. The figures follow the same angular logic, and the uppercase has a particularly strong, emblem-like presence that reads well at large sizes.
