A heavy, angular sans with an oblique stance and sharply cut terminals. Letterforms are built from chunky straight strokes and squared counters, with frequent bevel-like notches and stepped joins that create a faceted, mechanical feel. Curves are minimized or flattened into hard corners (notably in rounded letters and numerals), and the overall silhouette reads compact and tightly constructed. Spacing appears on the tight side in text, while the strong, consistent stroke mass keeps the texture dense and emphatic.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and racing graphics, game or esports titles, and bold packaging/merch marks. It can work for brief callouts or subheads, but the dense, angular texture may feel intense in long passages at smaller sizes.
The font projects speed and force, combining a sporty forward lean with a gritty, industrial edge. Its hard geometry and carved-in details evoke arcade/action titling and high-energy branding, leaning more “punchy display” than neutral UI.
Likely designed as a display face that maximizes impact through compact, slab-like strokes, angular construction, and an energetic oblique rhythm. The carved corners and squared counters suggest an intent to feel fast, tough, and mechanically precise rather than soft or text-oriented.
Distinctive rectangular counters (especially in O/0 and D/P) and the sawed-off, wedge-like terminals give it a stamped or cut-metal character. The numerals and uppercase share the same assertive, squared construction, helping headings and short bursts of copy look cohesive.
