A heavy, forward-slanted sans with sharply cut, angular outlines and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes show pronounced modulation, with thick vertical masses contrasted by thinner joins and interior cuts, creating a fast, mechanical rhythm. Many forms include distinctive notches and wedge-like apertures that carve out counters and crossbars, keeping dense shapes readable while emphasizing speed. Overall proportions feel extended horizontally with compact internal space, producing a punchy, high-energy texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, racing or motorsport graphics, esports branding, event posters, and energetic product packaging. It can work for subheads and short blurbs when set with generous spacing, but its dense counters and sharp detailing favor display sizes over long-form reading.
The tone is kinetic and assertive, leaning into a performance and technology aesthetic. Its hard angles and sliced details suggest motion, machinery, and competition, giving headlines an urgent, action-oriented voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a speed-driven, industrial flavor—combining slant, angled terminals, and sculpted interior cuts to maintain clarity while projecting motion and power.
Caps and lowercase share a consistent, engineered construction, with squared shoulders and clipped curves that avoid softness. Numerals and punctuation follow the same angled logic, reinforcing a cohesive display style; the ampersand and question mark are especially blocky and graphic.
