A heavily slanted, all-caps-forward sans with compact proportions and a tight, forward-leaning rhythm. Strokes are thick with sharp internal cut-ins and small notches that read like ink-trap-inspired details, giving counters a carved, stencil-adjacent feel while remaining solid and unbroken. Curves are squared off and slightly chamfered, with flattened terminals and a generally rectangular silhouette; rounded letters (O, C, S) keep a firm, blocky geometry rather than soft circularity. Spacing is sturdy and even in text, with punchy joins and consistent stroke behavior across letters and figures.
Best used for headlines, logos, and short bursts of copy where a fast, forceful voice is desirable—sports identity, motorsport themes, energy-related packaging, event posters, and bold apparel graphics. In longer text, it works as a stylized accent when set with generous size and line spacing to preserve the interior details.
The font projects speed and impact, with a confident, no-nonsense tone suited to bold messaging. Its angled stance and sculpted interiors evoke motorsport, athletic branding, and retro display lettering, while the rugged edges add a utilitarian, mechanical flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sense of motion, using a consistent oblique angle and carved counter-shaping to create a distinctive, high-energy texture. It balances solid fill with strategic internal cut-ins to stay readable while looking engineered and aggressive.
Uppercase forms dominate visually, and the numerals match the same blocky, forward-leaning construction for cohesive headlines. The interior cutouts and tight apertures create strong texture in paragraphs, favoring larger sizes where the carved details stay distinct.
