A sharply faceted, oblique sans with heavy, compact letterforms and planar cut corners in place of smooth curves. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, producing a solid, poster-like color, while joints and terminals resolve into crisp chamfers and wedge-like notches. The proportions are condensed with tight interior counters, and rounded characters (like O, C, G) read as octagonal forms. Overall spacing and rhythm feel dense and forward-leaning, emphasizing speed and impact over softness.
Best suited for bold headlines, sports identities, game or esports branding, and short display copy where the faceted construction can read clearly. It also works well on merchandise and signage that needs a rugged, high-impact presence; for longer passages, larger sizes and looser tracking help preserve legibility.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a fast, competitive feel reminiscent of athletics, action branding, and machined surfaces. The angled stance and chiseled geometry give it a no-nonsense, high-intensity voice that reads as modern and assertive.
The design appears intended to translate the language of beveled, cut-metal forms into a compact display sans that signals motion and intensity. Its consistent faceting and forward slant aim to create immediate visual punch and a strong, competitive silhouette.
The numerals and uppercase share the same faceted construction, which helps maintain a consistent, emblematic texture in headlines. Small apertures and sharp internal cuts can make dense text feel busy, so it benefits from generous size and breathing room in layout.
