A condensed, right-leaning sans with sharply faceted construction in place of smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with crisp corners, clipped terminals, and polygonal counters that keep letters compact and punchy. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with minimal internal apertures and squared-off bowls, while diagonals and angled joins add a mechanical, forward-driven texture across words and lines.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted details and compact proportions stay crisp: headlines, posters, sports and motorsport identity, esports and game interfaces, and bold packaging or label systems. It also works for short subheads and callouts when you want dense, high-energy typography with a mechanical edge.
The overall tone is fast, hard-edged, and utilitarian—more engineered than friendly. Its angled facets and compressed stance evoke performance, toughness, and a no-nonsense, tactical sensibility suited to high-impact statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, angular signature. By replacing curves with planar facets and keeping stroke contrast minimal, it aims for a rugged, modern display voice that reads as fast, strong, and engineered.
Round letters such as O/C/G are rendered as multi-sided shapes, reinforcing the planar, cut-metal feel. Numerals share the same clipped, geometric logic, reading like display titling figures intended for emphasis rather than subtlety. The slant is consistent and contributes to a continuous sense of motion in running text.
