A heavy, oblique sans with extended proportions and compact counters. Letterforms are built from broad, flat strokes with squared terminals and frequent chamfered cuts, creating a blocky, engineered silhouette. Curves (O, C, S) are tightened into rounded-rectangle shapes, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are steep and sturdy, emphasizing forward motion. The rhythm is dense and uniform, with small apertures and short, horizontal ink-trap-like notches in several glyphs that add sharp highlights and help separate internal spaces at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where high impact and speed cues are desirable: sports identities, racing or automotive graphics, event posters, gaming or action media titles, and bold product marks. It performs well in short phrases and large sizes where the tight counters and internal notches remain clear.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and performance-oriented, evoking motorsport, competitive athletics, and action-forward branding. Its slanted stance and clipped geometry give it a technical, slightly retro-future flavor that feels confident and loud rather than neutral or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of motion, using an oblique angle, extended width, and clipped terminals to suggest speed and mechanical precision. The consistent, block-driven construction aims for strong silhouette recognition in branding and headline contexts.
The numerals match the uppercase in width and mass, reading as sign-like blocks with minimal interior space. Lowercase follows the same squared, aerodynamic logic, keeping a consistent, all-caps-like density that prioritizes impact over delicate detail.
