A heavy, forward-slanted sans with sculpted, high-contrast strokes and prominent wedge-like cut-ins that create sharp internal counters and notches. The letterforms combine broad, rounded bowls with angular terminals, producing a punchy rhythm that alternates between smooth curves and abrupt facets. Counters are often partially pinched or split by diagonal cuts, and the overall construction feels tightly compacted despite the pronounced slant. Numerals and capitals follow the same carved, aerodynamic logic, emphasizing bold silhouettes and strong directional movement.
Best suited for display settings where its bold silhouettes and carved details can be appreciated—headlines, posters, title cards, and logo wordmarks. It also fits sports, gaming, and event branding that benefits from a sense of speed and impact; for longer text, it will typically perform better in short bursts or larger sizes.
The tone is fast and aggressive with a stylized, tech-meets-sports attitude. Its carved openings and slanted stance suggest motion, impact, and a slightly retro sci‑fi flair, while the chunky proportions keep it approachable and graphic rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, high-energy display voice by combining a slanted stance with sculpted cut-ins that imply motion and modernity. The repeated notching and segmented counters suggest a deliberate move away from neutral sans forms toward a branded, attention-grabbing texture.
The distinctive internal cutouts become a defining motif across the set, giving many letters a stencil-like, segmented read at smaller sizes. Curves remain dominant, but the repeated diagonal incisions add a consistent mechanical texture that reads best when given enough size and contrast.
