A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a strongly faceted, chamfered construction. Curves are largely replaced by clipped corners and polygonal counters, giving letters a cut-metal feel while keeping overall forms clean and sans-like. The rhythm is tight with compact apertures and tall lowercase that sits close to the capitals, and the figures follow the same narrow, angular logic for a consistent, sign-paint-like texture at display sizes.
Best suited to display work where compact width and high visual impact are useful: headlines, event posters, sports graphics, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI or on-product callouts where a condensed, energetic voice is needed, but it is less comfortable for extended text blocks.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a sporty, high-impact energy. Its hard edges and steep slant read as mechanical and assertive, leaning into a retro-industrial vibe that suggests motion, urgency, and toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while projecting speed and strength. The faceted geometry and tight rhythm suggest a deliberate move toward an industrial, engineered look that remains recognizably sans and highly legible at larger sizes.
Diagonal terminals and beveled joins create a distinctive "machined" silhouette, especially noticeable in rounded letters like C, G, O, and S where the octagonal shaping becomes a key signature. The narrow proportions produce dense word shapes, and the all-caps sample shows a punchy, poster-ready color that favors short headlines over long reading.
