A tightly condensed, forward-slanted sans with hard, planar cut-ins that replace most curves with faceted corners. Strokes are largely uniform, with crisp terminals and occasional chamfered joints that create a rugged, machined texture. Counters are compact and often squared-off, and the overall rhythm is brisk and vertical, with narrow letterforms and a tall lowercase that keeps text stripes even and dense. Numerals follow the same angular language, staying narrow and upright in structure while matching the slanted overall stance.
Best suited to display work where a compact width and aggressive slant help maximize impact—such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-themed graphics, and punchy packaging. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from an angular, high-velocity silhouette, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The font reads as fast and assertive, combining a retro display energy with a utilitarian, engineered feel. Its sharp facets and compressed proportions suggest speed, impact, and functionality rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a streamlined, space-saving italic sans with a distinctive faceted construction, balancing straightforward readability with a sharp, industrial personality for attention-driven typography.
The faceting is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the face a cohesive “cut metal” look. In running text, the narrow set and slant create a strong diagonal flow, which can amplify a sense of motion and intensity in headlines and short bursts of copy.
