A slanted, sharply constructed sans with a squared, aerodynamic build. Strokes show pronounced modulation and crisp cornering, with many joins and terminals cut on angles or finished with short slab-like ends. Counters tend toward rounded-rect forms, and several glyphs use notched or inset corners that read like ink-trap-inspired cutouts, giving a machined, engineered rhythm. Overall spacing and widths vary by letter, creating a lively, slightly irregular texture that stays visually consistent through repeated angular details.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and logo-style wordmarks where its angular details can be appreciated. It can work well for sports or motorsport-inspired branding, game or sci-fi themed interfaces, and packaging or album art that wants a punchy, engineered look. For longer text, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes due to the dense shapes and prominent corner treatments.
The tone feels fast and mechanical—like retro-futuristic instrumentation mixed with sporty signage. Its sharp cuts and sloped stance give it an energetic, forward-leaning attitude, while the quirky corner notches and uneven widths add a playful, offbeat edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a dynamic display voice by combining an italicized, streamlined skeleton with technical cut-ins and squared counters. The goal seems to be visual speed and character rather than neutrality, using consistent angular terminals and corner notches to create a distinctive, one-off texture.
Uppercase forms lean toward rectangular geometry (notably in rounded-rectangle letters), while the lowercase keeps a compact, utilitarian silhouette with abrupt terminals. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with distinctive cut-ins and squared bowls that emphasize a technical, display-first personality.
