A sharply faceted, highly condensed sans with a consistent rightward slant and mostly monolinear strokes. Curves are replaced by planar chamfers and clipped terminals, creating an octagonal, machined outline on bowls and joints. Counters are tight and vertical stress is emphasized, while diagonals and corners stay crisp to maintain a clean, engineered rhythm across letters and figures. The overall spacing feels compact, with a tall, linear silhouette and clear, simplified forms.
Best suited to display settings where its condensed, angular rhythm can create impact: headlines, posters, apparel graphics, product branding, and tech or automotive-themed visuals. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when a sleek, engineered look is desired, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The face reads as fast and mechanical, with a sleek, forward-leaning motion that suggests speed and precision. Its angular construction gives it a hard-edged, industrial tone—more sporty and high-tech than neutral or friendly. The texture is assertive without becoming heavy, producing a taut, performance-oriented voice.
This design appears intended to merge an italic, high-speed stance with a faceted, manufactured geometry, prioritizing sharp silhouette and compact width over softness or classic readability. The goal is a contemporary, performance-driven sans that signals precision and modernity through consistent chamfers and clean, economical strokes.
The figures and uppercase share the same faceted construction, giving headlines a cohesive, tool-like uniformity. The slant and condensed proportions amplify momentum in longer strings, while the clipped corners help preserve definition at small-to-medium display sizes where pure geometric curves might soften.
