A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with hard, planar facets that substitute for curves throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with clipped corners, chamfered terminals, and occasional pointed joins that create a brisk, mechanical rhythm. Counters are compact and somewhat angular, and the overall drawing favors vertical, compressed proportions with assertive diagonals. Numerals and caps maintain the same faceted construction, producing a cohesive, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited for short-form display work where impact and speed are key—headlines, posters, sports and motorsport-style branding, apparel graphics, and packaging. It can also work for punchy UI labels or signage when a condensed, angular voice is desired, but will be most legible and distinctive at larger sizes.
The tone is fast, tough, and utilitarian, evoking speed graphics, athletic branding, and engineered surfaces. Its sharp geometry and compressed stance read as confident and slightly aggressive, with a retro-technical edge reminiscent of racing and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy display sans with a carved, faceted construction, prioritizing momentum and visual punch over neutrality. Its condensed proportions and consistent chamfering suggest a focus on branding and titling where a sharp, engineered personality is an asset.
The faceting is consistently applied across upper- and lowercase, giving the face a distinctive, cut-metal look even at smaller sizes. The narrow set width and strong slant amplify motion, while the simplified, uniform stroke structure keeps the style bold and graphic rather than delicate.
