A slanted, condensed outline display face built from angular, mostly straight segments with crisp chamfered corners. Letterforms are constructed as hollow contours with an internal inline/secondary contour that reinforces the geometry and gives a layered, racing-stripe feel. Strokes maintain a largely monoline outline weight with tight counters and squared terminals, producing a compact rhythm and strong forward motion. The numerals and capitals share the same engineered, faceted construction, while the lowercase follows the same slanted skeleton with simplified bowls and sharp joins.
Ideal for headlines, posters, and title treatments where the angular outline construction can read cleanly. It also suits sports branding, event graphics, product packaging, and logo work that benefits from a dynamic, speed-inspired aesthetic and a bold contour presence on light backgrounds.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and distinctly retro-futuristic, reminiscent of sports branding, arcade-era graphics, and technical signage. The double-line outline adds a lively, kinetic shimmer that reads as energetic and performance-oriented rather than formal or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, forward-leaning display voice using outlined construction and an internal inline to evoke speed, machinery, and retro athletic styling. Its condensed stance and consistent faceting suggest an emphasis on tight layouts and graphic punch over long-form readability.
Because the design is entirely contour-based with interior line detail, it performs best at medium-to-large sizes where the negative space and inner contour remain clear. The heavy slant and condensed proportions amplify motion but can reduce clarity in dense text blocks, especially where counters are small.
