A heavy, forward-leaning sans with sharply faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with brisk diagonals and clipped corners that create a chiseled, planar rhythm. Counters are tight and often polygonal, and the forms feel slightly condensed with tall lowercase proportions and compact apertures. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged geometry, producing a consistent, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are priorities: sports identities, racing or performance-themed graphics, game titles and interfaces, poster headlines, and bold packaging callouts. It holds up well at larger sizes where the faceted detailing and tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and technical, evoking motorsport lettering, action branding, and modern industrial graphics. Its angular cuts and slanted stance communicate momentum and intensity rather than friendliness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy, contemporary voice by combining a strong slant with hard, geometric faceting and minimal curvature. The goal seems to be a compact, muscular silhouette that reads as modern, engineered, and action-oriented.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds like O/Q and bowls like B/P/R, which become octagonal and wedge-like, while joins and terminals favor straight cuts. In the sample text, the dense black mass and narrow openings emphasize punch and headline presence over relaxed long-form readability.
