A heavy, obliqued sans with sharply faceted construction in place of smooth curves. Strokes are built from straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal counters and angular terminals throughout. The forms feel compact and forward-leaning, with squared-off bowls and a consistent pattern of chamfers on inside and outside corners that keeps the texture crisp and mechanical. Numerals and capitals share the same planar logic, giving the set a uniform, engineered rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and display settings where a strong, kinetic presence is desired. It fits naturally in sports and racing graphics, sci‑fi or military-themed interfaces, packaging accents, posters, and logo work where angular geometry and forward motion help communicate performance.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and technical—more "machine-made" than humanist. Its forward slant and hard edges suggest speed and precision, while the chunky silhouettes add a combative, high-impact attitude suited to competitive or action-oriented themes.
The letterforms appear designed to convey speed and modernity through an oblique stance and systematically cut, planar edges. By replacing curves with controlled facets, the font aims for a rugged, industrial clarity that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The design reads best when allowed to show its corner cuts and polygonal counters; at smaller sizes the faceting may visually simplify into dense, blocky shapes. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to create motion even in short words, and the consistent chamfering gives a distinctive, branded look.
