A sharply angular, right-leaning sans with a forward-driving stance and squared geometry throughout. Strokes are heavy and mostly even in thickness, with frequent diagonal cuts that create wedge-like terminals and notched joins rather than rounded endings. Counters and bowls tend toward rectangular forms, and many glyphs use clipped corners and hard transitions that emphasize speed and precision. Spacing and rhythm feel compact and controlled, with an overall engineered, display-oriented texture in text.
Best suited to display applications where its angular silhouettes and forward slant can read at larger sizes: esports and gaming identities, sports and action branding, event posters, promotional headlines, and logo wordmarks. It can work for short UI labels or product naming where a high-tech, high-impact voice is desired, but the aggressive detailing is less ideal for extended body text.
The tone is energetic and assertive, combining a techno/arcade edge with motorsport-style urgency. Its sharp cuts and slanted posture communicate motion, impact, and a slightly tactical, industrial attitude rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern, high-impact sans that stands apart from neutral grotesques by using faceted forms and diagonal truncations. The consistent slant and engineered corners suggest an emphasis on motion, competitiveness, and a tech-forward aesthetic.
Distinctive construction details—like inset counters on letters such as A and Q, and consistently chamfered edges across both uppercase and lowercase—create a cohesive, custom-drawn look. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reinforcing a unified system suited to graphic-led typography.
