A heavy, right-slanted display sans built from sharp, angular geometry and straight-edged terminals. Forms are extended and low-contrast, with frequent chamfered corners and small wedge-like cut-ins that create a pseudo-stencil rhythm through counters and joins. Curves are minimized into faceted arcs, producing squarish bowls (notably in O/Q and lowercases like o/p) and a tightly engineered, mechanical feel. Spacing and widths are uneven in a deliberate way—some letters are notably compact while others stretch—adding speed and emphasis in text lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, esports and motorsport branding, product logos, and promotional graphics. It also works well for interface-like labels, scoreboard numerals, or packaging where a futuristic, high-velocity look is desired.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and synthetic, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era techno styling. Its sharp diagonals and aggressive notches read as energetic and assertive rather than neutral, giving headlines an immediate “action” voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy, futuristic voice by combining extended proportions, pronounced oblique stance, and angular cut details that signal speed and machinery. The consistent faceting across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests a cohesive display system built for bold branding rather than long-form reading.
The distinctive cut-ins can reduce clarity at small sizes, but they also provide strong identity in larger settings. Numerals follow the same faceted construction and slant, keeping the set cohesive for scores, labels, and UI-style callouts.
