A heavy, oblique sans with a faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and compact with squared terminals, producing dense silhouettes and strong presence. The forms lean consistently to the right, with tight apertures and crisp interior cuts that create a mechanical, cut-metal feel. Uppercase shapes read like streamlined blocks, while lowercase follows the same angular grammar with simplified bowls and sharply notched joins, maintaining a coherent rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to short, prominent text where the faceted shapes can read clearly—headlines, logos, sports and esports identity, event posters, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or overlays in gaming/tech contexts when set at ample size with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bold and high-impact, with a sporty, tactical energy. Its sharp planes and hard corners suggest speed, machinery, and engineered precision, giving it a modern, action-oriented voice that feels more assertive than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, industrial display voice by translating a geometric sans into planar, chamfered forms. The consistent oblique stance and cut-corner detailing emphasize motion and toughness while keeping a clean, sans-based structure for straightforward deployment in branding and titling.
Counters tend to be small and polygonal, and several glyphs rely on notches and clipped corners to define character, which enhances the faceted motif but also increases visual density at smaller sizes. Numerals share the same cut-corner geometry, supporting a cohesive headline system for branding and display.
