A heavy, oblique sans with a strongly angular, chiseled construction. Strokes are mostly monolinear with abrupt, sheared terminals and frequent diagonal cuts that create a faceted, industrial silhouette. Counters are tight and often rectangular, and interior apertures read as small punched shapes, reinforcing a dense, high-impact texture. The lowercase follows the same wedge-like logic as the caps, with simplified forms and an elevated x-height that keeps words visually tall and compact. Numerals match the letterforms with slanted, cut-corner geometry and consistent weight, producing a cohesive, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and motion cues matter: team identities, esports overlays, event posters, action-themed packaging, and large-format headlines. It also works well for short UI labels or section headers in tech or gaming themes when set large enough to keep counters open.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and contemporary, evoking motorsport, action branding, and game or tech aesthetics. Its sharp angles and forward lean suggest speed and intensity rather than softness or neutrality.
The design intent appears to prioritize speed, strength, and a technical edge through slanted posture and aggressively faceted geometry. It aims to deliver immediate visual energy and a recognizable, stylized voice for contemporary display typography.
Distinctive cut-ins and notches (notably in forms like S, Z, and several diagonally joined letters) add a mechanical flavor and help differentiate silhouettes at display sizes. Spacing appears tuned for headline density, and the dark color makes it most effective when given generous size or contrast against the background.
