A sharply slanted, angular display face with tall condensed proportions and heavy, chiseled strokes. Letterforms are built from faceted straight segments with abrupt corners and wedge-like terminals, producing a cut-metal look. Counters are narrow and often triangular or slit-like, with occasional internal breaks that read as stencil-style notches. Rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with compact spacing and punchy, high-impact silhouettes across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display sizes where its sharp cuts and narrow counters stay legible—titles, posters, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It also fits sports, racing, and game/tech themed graphics, as well as high-energy editorial headers. For longer text, larger sizing and generous line spacing help preserve clarity.
The overall tone is fast, aggressive, and attention-grabbing, evoking speed, machinery, and high-intensity signage. Its crisp, blade-like geometry gives it a bold, retro action feel that leans toward arcade, motorsport, and sci‑fi styling without becoming playful or soft.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through speed-oriented slant, condensed stance, and aggressively faceted construction. It prioritizes distinctive silhouette and kinetic texture for branding and headline use rather than quiet readability.
The lowercase generally echoes the uppercase structure, keeping a unified, all-caps-like color in text. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with angular bowls and clipped joins that maintain consistent momentum in headings and short lines.
