A sharply condensed sans with a strong forward slant and rigid, straight-sided construction. Strokes are uniform in thickness with crisp corners and frequent diagonal terminals, creating squared counters and cut-in notches that emphasize speed and tension. Curves are largely suppressed in favor of faceted joins, and bowls and apertures read as rectangular or chamfered shapes. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is compact, producing a dense, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent settings where its compressed width and energetic slant can carry impact—such as headlines, posters, sports or racing-themed branding, and high-contrast UI labels in games or tech interfaces. It can work in all-caps or tight title lines, but its intense texture is most effective at medium to large sizes rather than long-form reading.
The letterforms convey motion and intensity, with a distinctly sporty, techno-leaning tone. Its angular geometry and aggressive slant suggest competition, machinery, and retro arcade or motorsport aesthetics, while remaining clean and graphic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to maximize speed and punch in minimal horizontal space, using angular, uniform strokes and a forward lean to signal motion. Its consistent geometric language aims for a cohesive, high-energy display voice across letters and numerals.
Distinctive, segmented-looking details—especially in rounded characters—create a mechanical, stencil-like flavor without fully breaking strokes apart. Numerals follow the same condensed, angular logic, with sharp diagonals and squared interiors that keep figures visually consistent with the caps.
