A heavy, oblique sans with a squared, machined construction and consistently chamfered corners. Strokes feel sculpted with subtle internal notches and angled cut-ins that create a beveled, speed-forward silhouette. Counters are tight and geometric, and the forms lean on straight stems and blocky curves with minimal rounding. The rhythm is compact and punchy, with sturdy horizontals and diagonal joins that emphasize momentum rather than softness.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as sports identities, team marks, event posters, game or arcade-themed graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It performs well in short headlines, badges, and logo wordmarks where its oblique stance and beveled details can be appreciated. For extended text, it’s more effective as a secondary accent than as body copy.
The tone is forceful and energetic, evoking motorsport lettering, sports branding, and industrial signage. Its angled cuts and dense weight read as competitive and urgent, with a slightly retro, arcade-like toughness. Overall it communicates impact and motion more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, engineered look by combining an oblique stance with chamfered corners and cut-in detailing. The goal is a compact, hard-edged presence that holds up in bold branding contexts while projecting speed and toughness.
Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled logic, with wedge-like joins and clipped terminals that help maintain clarity at display sizes. The lowercase maintains the same angular language, keeping a uniform, engineered feel across mixed-case settings. In longer lines, the dense weight and tight counters can visually darken, so generous size and spacing help preserve legibility.
