A heavy, angular sans built from faceted strokes and sharp, cut-in corners, with a consistent forward slant. Forms are wide and low, with squared curves and chamfered terminals that create a machined, stencil-like rhythm. Counters are small and often rectangular, and joins are crisp, giving letters a tight, high-impact texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same geometry, keeping a uniform, hard-edged silhouette across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, esports and motorsport branding, game titles, and packaging callouts. It also works well for UI-style labels or section headers when a rugged, high-velocity aesthetic is desired, while extended body text may feel dense due to the compact counters and strong internal cuts.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and technical, evoking racing graphics, sci-fi interfaces, and arcade-era display typography. Its sharp cuts and forward motion read as energetic and competitive, with an industrial toughness that feels more engineered than handwritten.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of speed and precision, using faceted geometry and slanted construction to suggest motion. Its consistent, modular shaping emphasizes a bold, engineered identity aimed at display typography and branded wordmarks.
The distinctive notches and wedge-like cutaways create strong internal highlights that can fill in at smaller sizes, but they also contribute to a highly recognizable word shape at display scales. Uppercase and lowercase share a similar squared construction, making the font feel unified and logo-ready.
