An oblique, geometric display face drawn as an outline with a pronounced extruded/inline shadow that reads like a two-layer contour. Letterforms are built from straight segments with clipped, octagonal corners and minimal curves, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. Strokes stay consistent while counters are open and angular, and the construction favors tall lowercase proportions with compact joins and squared terminals. The shadow/offset contour adds depth and directionality, making the glyphs feel dimensional even at a single weight.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, title cards, logos, posters, and sports or esports-style branding where the outlined 3D effect can read clearly. It can also work for packaging callouts or UI/game graphics when used at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is fast, bold, and game-like, with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor. Its slanted stance and hard-edged geometry evoke racing numbers, arcade cabinets, and sports branding, projecting motion and competitive energy.
The design appears intended to deliver a lightweight-but-bold display look by combining an outline build with a consistent extruded contour. The goal is a dynamic, forward-leaning presence with strong geometry and immediate readability in large-format applications.
The dimensional effect comes from a consistent offset contour that behaves like a drop-shadow/extrusion rather than filled shading, so the look remains light while still reading as 3D. The numerals and capitals share the same chamfered construction, helping headlines feel cohesive and punchy.
