A heavy, forward-slanted display face built from compact, blocky silhouettes and sharply cut facets. Terminals are aggressively sheared, with frequent notches and wedge-like bite-ins that create a chiseled, almost stencil-adjacent rhythm. Counters are small and often reduced to tight apertures, keeping the overall color dense and poster-like. The lowercase echoes the uppercase with similarly angular construction and short ascenders/descenders, producing a tight, cohesive texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, game or event graphics, team or motorsport-style branding, and bold packaging callouts. It performs especially well when set large, where the carved details and sharp terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
The tone is loud and high-impact, with a kinetic, combative energy. Its sharp cuts and compressed openings evoke motorsport graphics, arcade-era lettering, and rugged action branding rather than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a solid, faceted silhouette and a persistent forward slant, prioritizing motion and attitude over text economy. Its reduced internal openings and angular cuts suggest a deliberate push toward a rugged, graphic look for display settings.
The slant and faceted geometry create strong directional movement across a line, while the dense interior structure can make similar shapes feel closer at small sizes. Numerals follow the same cut, angular logic and read best when given ample size and spacing.
