A heavy, oblique sans with sharply chamfered corners and a predominantly rectangular construction. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight internal counters and frequent notches that create a subtly cut-out, stencil-like feel in letters such as E, S, Z, and the numerals. The proportions run broad and squat, with flat terminals and a forward slant that gives the texture a continuous right-leaning momentum. Uppercase forms are especially blocky and geometric, while lowercase retains the same angular vocabulary with simplified bowls and minimal curvature.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as sports identities, racing-themed graphics, esports titles, product marks, and bold editorial headlines. It also works well for signage-like applications where a decisive, forward-moving look is desired, especially when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and tech-leaning—suggesting speed, competition, and machine-made precision. The aggressive angles and forward slant convey motion and intensity, while the cut-in details add a tactical, industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-speed, performance-oriented voice through an oblique stance and angular, engineered letterforms. Its chamfers and cut-in details aim to differentiate it from neutral grotesques while keeping a clean, sans structure for punchy, modern display use.
The design relies on hard diagonals, stepped joins, and clipped apertures, producing a distinctive rhythm that reads best at larger sizes. In longer text, the dense black shapes and tight counters create a strong, poster-like color rather than a delicate reading texture.
