A heavy, condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and sharply angled, cut-in terminals. Strokes are largely monolinear, but the outlines are carved into faceted shapes—wedge joins, notched corners, and occasional diagonal “bites” that create a mechanical, speed-driven texture. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with tight apertures and squared inner spaces that keep the silhouette dense. Overall rhythm is punchy and segmented, emphasizing strong diagonals and abrupt transitions rather than smooth curves.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-themed branding, and game or entertainment graphics where the angular texture can do expressive work. It can also function for logos and titling, but its dense counters and aggressive cuts make it less ideal for long passages or small sizes.
The face reads loud and kinetic, with a tense, action-oriented tone that suggests speed, impact, and competition. Its angular cuts and compact forms give it a slightly industrial, arcade/comic energy—confident, brash, and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver a sense of motion and force through condensed proportions, a strong slant, and chiseled geometry. The faceted terminals and notched details look purpose-built to create a distinctive display voice that feels fast, tough, and visually loud.
Uppercase forms appear more uniform and poster-like, while lowercase introduces distinctive shapes (notably single-storey-style constructions and sharp hooks) that can feel stylized and idiosyncratic. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, staying tall and compact, with slanted tops and crisp interior cutouts.
