A sharply slanted, heavy sans with angular construction and pronounced shearing across stems and bowls. Forms are built from straight segments and tight corners, producing faceted curves (notably in rounds like O/C/G) and squarish counters. Terminals often end in wedge-like cuts, and several joins are crisp and mechanical, giving the letters a chiseled, speed-leaning profile. Spacing and rhythm feel energetic, with uppercase showing a more compact, uniform presence while lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes and varied internal angles.
Best suited to large-scale display use such as headlines, posters, sports or esports branding, logotypes, and energetic packaging. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and promotional graphics where a sharp, high-velocity voice is desired and the angular texture can be appreciated.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive, evoking motorsport graphics, arcade-era display lettering, and action-oriented branding. Its sharp edges and forward slant add urgency and intensity, making it feel assertive rather than neutral or conversational.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a bold, speed-driven identity through consistent slant, faceted geometry, and wedge-cut terminals. The design prioritizes impact and motion cues over neutrality, aiming for a distinctive, branded look that reads as modern-retro and performance-oriented.
Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with hard diagonals and angled top/bottom cuts that read clearly at display sizes. The design’s strong directional slant and sharp corners create a distinctive texture that can become dense in long passages, but it remains striking for short, high-impact settings.
