A heavy, forward-slanted sans with a distinctly angular construction and squared counters. Strokes are built from straight segments with abrupt wedge-like cut-ins and clipped terminals, producing a faceted, machine-cut feel. Curves are largely suppressed into chamfered corners, and many forms show notched or stepped joins that emphasize speed and direction. The overall rhythm is energetic and uneven in a deliberate way, with compact interior spaces and bold silhouettes that hold together best at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as sports and esports marks, racing-themed graphics, game and action titles, posters, and punchy headline treatments. It can also work for UI accents or labels where a fast, technical mood is desired, but it is less suited to extended reading due to its dense shapes and aggressive detailing.
The font conveys motion, impact, and a combative, arcade-like intensity. Its sharp geometry and aggressive slant suggest racing, action branding, and futuristic interfaces rather than quiet or editorial settings. The tone feels synthetic and high-adrenaline, with a distinctly “speed cut” aesthetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-speed look through angular geometry, clipped terminals, and a consistent forward slant. Its stylized cuts and squared counters prioritize a distinctive display voice, aiming for maximum visual energy and a contemporary, tech-forward presence.
Counters tend to be small and rectangular, and the diagonals and angled shoulders give lines of text a strong forward sweep. The display sample shows the texture becoming dense in longer passages, with the notches and sharp joints contributing more character than readability at smaller sizes.
