A slanted, all-caps-forward sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals. Many strokes show deliberate breaks and roughened edges, creating a stencil-like, worn print effect with occasional ink-trap-style cutouts. Curves are compact and boxy rather than circular, counters stay tight, and joins are simplified for a bold, utilitarian silhouette. Spacing reads slightly uneven by design, reinforcing the distressed texture and the energetic rightward lean.
Best suited to display work where impact and texture matter: posters, event promos, sports and motorsport graphics, apparel prints, and rugged product packaging. It also fits UI or signage accents when used large, but works less well for long passages of small text due to the distressed apertures and tight counters.
The overall tone feels gritty and action-oriented—like painted markings, shipping labels, or equipment IDs that have seen use. The italic slant and chopped detailing add urgency and motion, while the blocky geometry keeps it assertive and functional.
The design appears intended to blend geometric, boxy sans forms with a stencil/abraded treatment, delivering a fast, industrial voice that suggests durability and motion. It aims for high visual presence and a ready-made “printed-on” authenticity in a single style.
The distressed cuts are consistent enough to read as an intentional system rather than random noise, but they do reduce fine-detail clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals and capitals carry the same broken-stroke logic, helping headlines and short statements feel cohesive.
