A slanted, heavy sans with a wide stance and sharply chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are predominantly monolinear with crisp terminals, producing polygonal counters in rounded letters like O, C, and G. The geometry favors flat horizontals and diagonals, with squared shoulders and compact apertures; curves are consistently “cut” into straight segments. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase follows the same hard-edged construction with simple, single-storey shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited to short-to-medium display copy where its angular construction and forward energy can read as intentional—headlines, logos, team or esports identities, product marks, and tech or automotive campaigns. It can also work for UI labels or on-screen titling when set large enough for the faceted counters and tight apertures to remain clear.
The overall tone is fast, mechanical, and assertive, evoking motorsport graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and performance-oriented branding. Its sharp facets and forward slant communicate motion and toughness more than softness or elegance.
Designed to deliver a streamlined, high-speed impression through wide proportions, a consistent oblique angle, and a cut-metal facet vocabulary. The emphasis appears to be on impact and a contemporary engineered aesthetic rather than neutrality or long-form readability.
The facet system is applied consistently across letters and numerals, giving the typeface a cohesive, engineered look. Numerals share the same angular rounding and wide proportions, helping them blend well in display settings. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence, with a rhythmic zig-zag texture created by repeated diagonals and clipped joins.
