A heavy, right-slanted display sans built from sharp planar facets rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and often polygonal, with clipped corners and straight segments creating a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and the overall color is dense and dark. Proportions feel compressed, with tight apertures and short joins that keep letterforms compact; numerals and caps follow the same angular construction for a consistent, hard-edged texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as sports identities, event posters, esports/gaming graphics, and bold promotional headlines. It performs well where a compact, forceful texture is desired and where large sizes preserve the internal shapes and tight counters.
The face projects speed and impact, combining a sporty, competitive tone with a rugged, engineered attitude. Its sharp facets and forward lean suggest motion and intensity, reading as assertive and high-energy rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact voice with a dynamic slant and a distinctly faceted, machined construction. It prioritizes visual punch and a cohesive angular system across letters and numerals for branding and display-driven typography.
Diagonal terminals and cut-in notches appear throughout, reinforcing the faceted construction and helping differentiate similarly shaped letters at display sizes. The lowercase maintains the same angular vocabulary as the uppercase, producing a uniform, poster-like presence across mixed-case settings.
