A slanted, extended sans with heavy strokes and a compact, aerodynamic build. Letterforms are constructed from angled segments with rounded outer corners and frequent cut-ins and slits that create a fast, “machined” texture. Counters tend toward rectangular/lozenge shapes, and terminals are sharply sheared to reinforce forward motion. Spacing and widths feel intentionally uneven across letters, giving the set a dynamic rhythm rather than a strictly modular grid.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its angular detailing and slanted stance can be appreciated—logos, sports identities, racing-inspired graphics, game and esports titles, posters, and tech-forward packaging. It can work for UI or headings when set large with generous spacing, but the internal cut-ins suggest avoiding small sizes or dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is high-energy and forward-leaning, with a distinctly futuristic, motorsport sensibility. Its sharp diagonals and engineered details read as assertive and performance-oriented, suggesting speed, power, and technology.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, performance-driven sans with a distinctive engineered voice. By combining extended proportions, aggressive sheared terminals, and repeated stroke insets, it aims to stand out in display settings where a futuristic, high-impact look is needed.
Horizontal strokes are often broken or inset (notably in E/S-like forms), producing a distinctive striped motif at display sizes. The italic angle is pronounced, and the geometry stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the style feel cohesive despite the varied widths.
