A heavy, sharply angled sans with a pronounced left-leaning slant and faceted, cut-in corners throughout. Strokes are predominantly straight and planar, with rectangular counters and occasional notch-like cutouts that create a stamped or machined feel. Curves are minimized in favor of squared-off bowls and hard terminals, producing a rigid rhythm and a compact interior space in letters like O, P, and R. The lowercase keeps a simple, sturdy structure with a single-storey a and squared forms, while figures follow the same blocky geometry for a cohesive alphanumeric texture.
Best suited to display roles where impact and speed matter—headlines, posters, title cards, logos, and bold brand marks. It can also work well on packaging or apparel graphics where an industrial or sport-forward voice is desired and the letterforms can be given enough size to breathe.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, combining a retro arcade/industrial energy with a hard-edged, engineered attitude. Its oblique stance adds motion and urgency, making it feel sporty and confrontational rather than calm or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through slanted, hard-edged geometry and machined-looking cutaways, yielding a distinct, emblematic texture. It prioritizes attitude and recognizability over neutrality, aiming to read as engineered, fast, and forceful in display settings.
At text sizes the dense fills and tight counters create a strong, dark typographic color, and the angular notches become a defining texture. The distinctive slant and faceting make it more suitable for short bursts than for extended reading, where the compact interiors could reduce clarity.
