A heavy, forward-slanted display sans with sharply carved terminals and pronounced stroke modulation. The letterforms are broad and compactly spaced, with wedge-like cuts, pointed joins, and flattened, blade-like curves that create a distinctly mechanical rhythm. Counters tend to be tight and horizontally emphasized, and several diagonals and cross-strokes terminate in crisp, tapered points, reinforcing a fast, aerodynamic silhouette.
Best suited to large-scale settings such as headlines, posters, and branding where its dramatic angles and modulation can be appreciated. It works well for sports, motorsport, gaming, and tech-themed graphics, and can add punch to short phrases, badges, or logotypes; it is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to its tight counters and strong stylization.
The overall tone is kinetic and assertive, suggesting speed, impact, and a competitive edge. Its dramatic cuts and high-contrast shapes give it a stylized, tech-forward flavor that reads as modern and performance-oriented rather than neutral or texty.
The design appears intended as an impact-oriented display face that communicates motion and intensity through a consistent oblique stance and chiseled, high-contrast construction. Its broad proportions and sharp detailing prioritize presence and recognizability over neutrality, aiming for distinctive branding and attention-grabbing titling.
The slant is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and the design relies on repeated knife-cut motifs (notably in diagonals and curved letters) to unify the set. Numerals and round letters appear especially wide, and the tight internal shapes make it most effective when given ample size and breathing room.
