A heavy, angular sans with planar, faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight interior counters and squared apertures that give the letters a compact, armored feel. The set has a consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a forward-leaning rhythm while preserving sturdy, rectangular proportions. Numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, and overall spacing reads even and poster-ready at larger sizes.
Best suited to display typography where impact and attitude are priorities: posters, event titles, sports and esports graphics, bold branding marks, packaging callouts, and punchy social media headlines. It can work in short bursts of text, but its dense counters and strong slant favor larger sizes and tighter messaging over long-form reading.
The design projects a tough, energetic tone—part athletic headline, part industrial stencil-like grit—driven by its aggressive angles and forward lean. Its faceting lends a retro arcade/comic-book edge while keeping a utilitarian, no-nonsense presence.
The font appears intended as a high-impact display face that channels speed and toughness through a consistent slant and faceted, chiseled letterforms. Its goal is to deliver immediate visual force and a distinctive angular texture in branding and headline environments.
Diagonal terminals and chamfered joins create a chiseled texture across lines of text, with counters that stay small and darken paragraphs into a strong typographic block. The faceted geometry is applied consistently, so mixed-case settings keep a unified, mechanical cadence.
