A steeply slanted, heavy display sans with compact proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry: counters are ovalized and corners read as softly squared rather than purely circular. Many glyphs feature diagonal cut-ins and notch-like breaks that create sharp internal highlights and a segmented feel, while strokes remain predominantly monoline in mass with crisp, knife-edged terminals. The overall texture is dense and punchy, with simplified apertures and firm joins that emphasize speed and forward motion.
Best for high-impact display work such as posters, event graphics, apparel marks, sports and esports identities, and bold packaging callouts. It performs well in large sizes for headlines, title treatments, and logo-style wordmarks where the diagonal cuts can be appreciated without sacrificing legibility.
The tone is forceful and kinetic, projecting urgency and impact. Its engineered cuts and hard diagonals give it a performance-oriented, motorsport/athletics energy, while the rounded-rectangle underpinning keeps it feeling contemporary and manufactured rather than brushy or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual velocity and attitude through a pronounced forward slant and a repeated system of diagonal incisions. By combining compact, rounded-rectangle skeletons with sharp internal breaks, it aims to feel modern, competitive, and mechanically tuned for standout display typography.
The distinctive internal slashes and triangular intrusions are consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive "shredded" or "vented" motif. In paragraph-like settings the strong slant and dark color quickly dominate, making it best suited to short bursts of text where the stylization reads as a feature rather than noise.
