A heavy, right-leaning sans with sharply faceted, chamfered outlines that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes read mostly uniform in thickness, with squared terminals and clipped corners creating an octagonal rhythm across bowls and diagonals. Proportions are compact and punchy, with tight counters and a crisp, mechanical silhouette; the uppercase feels sturdy and blocklike while the lowercase is simplified and sturdy with minimal contrast. Figures follow the same cut-corner geometry, keeping a consistent, hard-edged texture in lines of text.
Best suited to high-impact display typography where sharp geometry and strong texture are desirable—sports identities, esports/gaming graphics, event posters, action-themed packaging, and bold editorial headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when large enough to keep counters clear.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, evoking speed, competition, and machinery. Its sharp angles and forward slant suggest motion and intensity, giving headlines a tough, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fast, aggressive stance and a cohesive faceted construction system. By standardizing clipped corners and reducing curves, it aims for a rugged, modern look that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
The faceting is applied consistently across round forms (like O/0 and C) and diagonals (like A, V, W), producing a distinctive, almost stencil-like angularity without actual breaks. In text, the dense weight and tight internal spaces create a strong dark color that favors display sizes over extended reading.
