A sharply italic serif with condensed proportions and a distinctly angular construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation, with tapered joins and crisp terminals that feel cut rather than brushed. Serifs are small and pointed, often reading as wedge-like accents, and many curves are flattened into faceted, near-rectilinear turns (notably in rounded letters and numerals). The overall rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with tall lowercase bodies and compact sidebearings that create a fast, compressed texture in text.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where the sharp details and high-contrast rhythm can be appreciated—headlines, posters, sports or motorsport-themed graphics, branding wordmarks, and punchy packaging. In longer passages it will read as a distinctive, high-energy text texture rather than a quiet reading face.
The tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a classic italic flavor with a hard-edged, engineered finish. Its faceted shapes and wedge details suggest speed, toughness, and a slightly retro display attitude reminiscent of racing, athletics, or industrial branding.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional italic serif silhouette with a modern, angular “cut” aesthetic, emphasizing motion and impact. The condensed stance and faceted curves prioritize display presence and a mechanical, speed-oriented character over neutrality.
The alphabet maintains a consistent slant and a cohesive system of angled cuts, which helps the style hold together even at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong diagonals and squared counters that reinforce the technical feel.
