A slanted, angular sans built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts that replace most curves with faceted corners. Counters and bowls read as squared-off octagons, and terminals are consistently sliced, giving letters a chiseled, engineered look. The proportions skew broad with open spacing, and the rhythm is driven by strong diagonals and clean, low-contrast strokes. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged geometry, producing a cohesive, machine-cut texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, prominent text where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding for tech or automotive themes. It also fits UI labels and on-screen graphics in games or interfaces that want a sharp, engineered feel. For long reading, its strong angles and slant are more impactful than quietly neutral.
The overall tone feels futuristic and technical, with a sporty sense of motion reinforced by the forward slant and diagonal joins. Its crisp facets suggest precision and speed—more "designed for performance" than casual or literary.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, industrial aesthetic into a readable sans, emphasizing speed and precision through diagonal stress and consistently sliced terminals. Its systematized facets suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, futuristic voice while remaining clear enough for functional display text.
Distinctive angular construction shows up strongly in round letters and in the squared, cut-corner forms of O/Q/0-like shapes, while diagonal-heavy letters (A, K, V, W, X, Y) feel especially dynamic. The lowercase maintains the same faceted logic, keeping the texture consistent between display caps and mixed-case settings.
