A very wide, heavy display sans with rounded corners and squarish bowls. The dominant motif is a continuous inline cut—often reading as one or two thin horizontal/curving “speed lines” that slice through strokes and counters—creating a layered, hollowed look without breaking the overall silhouette. Curves are smooth and geometric, joins are clean, and terminals tend to be blunt with softened edges. Letterforms show consistent striping behavior across rounds (C, G, O, Q) and across straights (E, F, H, I, L), producing a uniform, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same wide proportions and inline carving, favoring compact interior apertures and strong, stable baselines.
Best suited to large-format display work such as headlines, poster titles, branding marks, esports/gaming overlays, and product or vehicle-themed graphics where the inline striping can be appreciated. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers in tech-forward designs, but is less appropriate for long body copy due to its strong internal detailing.
The carved inlines and stretched proportions evoke a fast, synthetic tone associated with sci‑fi interfaces, motorsport graphics, and late-20th-century tech aesthetics. The repeated “stripe” detail adds motion and a machine-made feel, making the face read as assertive and attention-seeking rather than quiet or literary.
The design appears aimed at delivering a high-impact, speed-inflected look: wide, geometric forms paired with consistent inline carving to suggest motion, layering, and engineered precision. The result prioritizes visual identity and thematic atmosphere over neutral readability.
At text sizes the inline channels become a dominant texture, so the face reads best when given enough scale and spacing to keep the interior striping crisp. The wide set and rounded geometry create a distinctive horizontal flow, while the decorative cuts can reduce clarity in dense paragraphs.
