A heavy, obliqued sans with angular construction and pronounced stroke contrast. The forms are built from flat planes and sharp cuts, with frequent chamfered corners and wedge-like joins that create a fast, forward-leaning rhythm. Counters are compact and often squared-off, while horizontals and diagonals terminate in crisp, knife-edge ends. Numerals and capitals keep a wide stance, and several glyphs incorporate notches and step-like cut-ins that emphasize a mechanical, segmented silhouette.
Best suited for display applications where speed and force are desirable—team identities, racing or automotive graphics, esports and game title screens, event posters, and bold headline treatments. It also works well for short bursts of copy such as callouts, packaging bursts, and UI labels that need an aggressive, tech-forward voice.
The overall tone is high-speed and assertive, evoking motorsport graphics, arcade-era futurism, and action-oriented branding. Its slanted, faceted shapes feel kinetic and combative, prioritizing punch and momentum over calm neutrality.
The design appears intended to translate motion and power through slant, wide proportions, and faceted cuts, producing a hard-edged, machine-made aesthetic. Its contrasted strokes and chiseled terminals are geared toward attention-grabbing typography rather than long-form reading.
The style relies on distinctive internal cutouts and asymmetrical detailing (notably in characters like S, Z, and several numerals), giving text a textured, industrial cadence. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and busy interior shapes may reduce clarity, while at display sizes the engineered facets become a defining feature.
