A slanted, geometric outline face built from straight segments and crisp corners, with an overall octagonal, engineered construction. The strokes are defined only by an outer contour, keeping the interior open and emphasizing negative space; corners frequently show small cut-ins that read like ink-trap-inspired notches. Letterforms are wide and squat with flat terminals, squared counters, and simplified curves rendered as chamfered angles. The outlines remain consistent in thickness across the set, producing a clean, schematic rhythm that stays legible at display sizes.
Best suited for display applications where the outline structure can stay crisp: sports and motorsport branding, esports graphics, arcade or sci‑fi themed titles, posters, and punchy headlines. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when used at sufficiently large sizes to preserve the interior openings.
The font projects speed and impact, combining a racing-style slant with a late-20th-century arcade/tech attitude. Its hollow construction feels bold and flashy despite the light linework, giving headlines a confident, competitive tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, performance-oriented wordshape using a forward slant and wide proportions, while the open outline treatment adds a lightweight, high-impact graphic presence. The faceted geometry and corner cut-ins suggest a deliberate, industrial aesthetic aimed at modern tech or retro-futuristic contexts.
The alphabet shows a strong preference for straight geometry over true curves, which gives round letters a faceted look. Numerals and lowercase follow the same construction logic, with compact counters and prominent angular joins that create a cohesive, mechanical texture in words.
