A condensed, heavy sans with a pronounced forward slant and sharply faceted construction that replaces many curves with planar cuts. Strokes are broadly uniform with squared terminals and frequent diagonal notches that create a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, while forms like the M and W show distinctive internal striping/cut-ins that reinforce the engineered look. Overall spacing feels tight and the silhouettes read as sturdy, blocky, and highly graphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and display typography where its condensed slant and faceted edges can carry attitude. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, and apparel/merch applications where a tough, fast visual voice is desired.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, evoking speed and impact through its slant and compact width. Its angular facets and hard edges lean industrial and slightly retro, suggesting motorsport, action, and high-intensity branding rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint while signaling motion and toughness. Its faceted, cut-metal construction suggests a deliberate blend of modern industrial geometry with a retro athletic display sensibility.
Digit shapes follow the same cut-corner logic, keeping a consistent, machined texture across alphanumerics. The design favors bold silhouettes and dynamic rhythm over open readability, especially in smaller sizes where tight counters and dense joins may darken.
