A strongly slanted, heavy display face built from wedge-like strokes and sharp terminals, with dramatic contrast between thick, ink-trap-like masses and hairline cuts. The forms feel extended and low, with wide set letters and a forward-leaning rhythm that emphasizes speed. Curves are sculpted into teardrop and blade shapes, while straight strokes often end in pointed, chiseled tips; several glyphs show thin diagonal hairlines that read as deliberate incisions rather than traditional serifs. Counters are relatively tight and horizontally biased, giving rounds like O/C/G a compressed, aerodynamic profile.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairline incisions and sharp terminals stay crisp—headlines, posters, event graphics, esports/sports identities, and bold logotypes. It can also work for short UI or product callouts when a kinetic, tech-forward tone is desired, but it is visually intense for long-form reading.
The overall tone is fast, high-energy, and slightly confrontational—more “performance” than “neutral.” It suggests motorsport, sci‑fi interfaces, and headline-driven branding where impact and motion are the priority.
The letterforms appear designed to communicate velocity and engineered precision through oblique posture, sharp geometry, and high-contrast slicing. The intention is a distinctive display style that reads as modern and performance-oriented while maintaining a consistent, tightly branded texture across the alphabet and numerals.
The design relies on consistent diagonal stress and repeated razor-thin cuts that create a signature “sliced” look across caps, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same wedge-and-shear logic, keeping the set cohesive for titling and short bursts of text.
