A heavy, forward-slanted sans with extended proportions and rounded-corner geometry. The most distinctive feature is a consistent horizontal “slice” through the middle of most glyphs, creating a segmented, stencil-like construction with clean, straight cut terminals. Curves are broad and aerodynamic, counters are compact, and the overall rhythm is tight and fast, with some letters showing asymmetric shaping to maintain flow in the italicized stance. Numerals and capitals follow the same midline break, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look.
Best suited to bold display applications where the sliced construction can read clearly: sports and racing identities, esports and gaming graphics, posters, trailers, product branding, and punchy headline typography. It can also work for UI-style titles or dashboard-like labels when set large with generous spacing.
The face reads as speed-driven and futuristic, with a motorsport and sci‑fi interface feel. Its sliced midline adds a high-energy, tactical tone—suggesting motion, scanning, or glitch-like separation—while the rounded forms keep it sleek rather than brutalist.
The design appears intended to convey speed and modernity by combining an extended italic structure with a systematic midline break that suggests motion and technical precision. The goal seems to be instant visual impact and a distinctive, branded texture rather than neutral text readability.
The midline segmentation remains the primary identifying motif across upper- and lowercase, producing strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. The italic slant and wide stance amplify horizontal momentum, but the internal cuts can reduce clarity if used too small or in dense paragraphs.
