A heavy, slanted sans with sharply angular construction and clipped corners throughout. Strokes are predominantly straight with squared terminals, giving a cut-metal, stencil-like rhythm even though counters remain mostly closed. Letterforms feel compact and forward-leaning, with simplified geometry, tight apertures, and a mix of rectangular and trapezoidal counters that emphasize speed. The numerals follow the same faceted logic, staying bold and chunky with hard-edged joins and minimal curvature.
Best suited to display settings where impact and motion are desired: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports and esports branding, gaming UI titles, and compact logotypes. It can work for short bursts of text, but the dense texture and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and mechanical, evoking racing graphics, arcade-era tech, and industrial signage. Its sharp silhouettes and strong slant convey motion and urgency, reading as assertive and high-impact rather than friendly or understated.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-energy, speed-driven look by combining a strong slant with faceted, angular letterforms and blunt terminals. The consistent hard-edged geometry suggests an intention to mimic techno/racing lettering while maintaining a coherent alphabet for punchy display typography.
Diagonal strokes are emphasized across the set, and many curves are replaced by angled segments, creating a consistent faceted texture in text. In the sample paragraph, the bold mass and tight inner spaces produce a dense color, so spacing and line length will strongly influence readability.
