A heavy, hard-edged sans with a pronounced forward slant and wide stance. Forms are built from angular, chamfered strokes with frequent diagonal terminals and cut-in notches, creating sharp counters and compact apertures. Curves are minimized and squared-off, with flat joins and assertive corner geometry that keeps the texture dense and uniform. The rhythm is punchy and mechanical, with squared bowls and a consistent, blocky stroke feel that reads best at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, esports and sports identities, game titles, posters, and punchy logo work where a fast, technical voice is desired. It can work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when set large, but the tight counters and aggressive cuts make it less suitable for long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and action branding. Its slanted, chiseled shapes suggest speed and impact, while the strict geometry gives it a technical, engineered character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a speed-oriented, industrial aesthetic, using oblique momentum and angular cutouts to create a distinctive display texture.
The figures and lowercase echo the same notched, angular construction as the capitals, helping mixed-case settings maintain a cohesive, high-energy texture. Interior spaces are tight and the distinctive cutaways become a defining motif, so clarity improves with generous size and spacing.
