A heavy, slanted sans with condensed proportions and a compact footprint. Letterforms are built from broad, low-contrast strokes with sharply cut terminals and an overall angular, engineered geometry. Many glyphs feature deliberate diagonal breaks and notches through the main stems and bowls, creating a stencil-like, segmented construction while maintaining a consistent rhythm across the set. Counters are tight and forms lean forward with an energetic, forward-driving stance.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, sports graphics, and bold branding where the segmented styling becomes a distinctive signature. It can also work well on apparel, packaging, or event materials that benefit from an energetic, industrial aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The segmented cuts and forceful slant give the type a fast, assertive tone with a utilitarian edge. It reads as action-oriented and tactical, combining a sporty urgency with an industrial, machine-marked character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed, forward-leaning silhouette while adding recognizability through consistent diagonal cutouts. Its construction suggests a goal of evoking speed, toughness, and a fabricated, stencil-marked feel without relying on decorative serifs.
The diagonal voids are a defining motif that repeats across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing strong texture at display sizes. The design prioritizes impact and momentum over continuous outlines, so spacing and word shapes feel punchy and compact.
