A sharply faceted, forward-slanted sans with planar cuts that replace curves, producing octagonal counters and chamfered terminals throughout. Strokes are fairly even in thickness with tight, decisive joins, while the slant and slightly compressed internal shapes create a quick, mechanical rhythm. Capitals are compact and sturdy; lowercase forms stay upright in construction but inherit the same cut-corner geometry, with single-story a and g and an overall utilitarian texture. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, yielding crisp, sign-like silhouettes at larger sizes.
Works best for headlines, posters, titles, and branding where a dynamic, hard-edged voice is desired—especially in sports, motorsport, gaming, or tech-forward packaging and labeling. It can also suit UI callouts or short informational bursts where crisp angular forms help maintain impact at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone feels fast and engineered—suggesting speed, competition, and technical equipment. Its angular geometry and italic stance convey motion and urgency, while the faceting adds a rugged, tactical edge.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, machined aesthetic into an italic sans, using systematic faceting to imply speed and industrial precision while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly recognizable.
The consistent chamfering makes round letters (C, O, Q, G) read as polygonal, giving the face a distinctive, synthetic identity. In text, the strong slant and sharp corners create a lively surface that favors display settings over long-form reading.
