A heavy, oblique sans with sharply planed, faceted forms that replace curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes stay uniformly thick, creating dense silhouettes with compact internal counters and a distinctly geometric rhythm. Many joins are cut back into small notches and wedges, giving a slightly engineered, “machined” feel and helping keep apertures from closing at large sizes. The overall texture is tight and impactful, with broad proportions and a forward-leaning slant that emphasizes speed and direction.
Best suited to display settings where impact and speed are priorities: esports and gaming identities, sports and motorsport graphics, action-oriented posters, and bold tech or industrial promotions. It can work for short UI labels or headings when given ample spacing, but the dense, faceted shapes make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font reads as assertive and high-energy, with a futuristic, combat-sport tone. Its sharp facets and forward motion suggest performance, machinery, and competitive intensity rather than softness or tradition.
The design intent appears to be a modern, performance-driven display face that communicates motion through its slant and energy through hard, faceted geometry. It aims to deliver a strong silhouette and a distinctive, engineered personality for branding and headlines.
The faceting is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive system of chamfered terminals and polygonal bowls. In text, the dense weight and narrow counters make it most legible with generous tracking and line spacing, where the angular details remain crisp and distinctive.
