A tightly packed, slanted sans with heavy strokes and sharp, planar facets that replace most curves with clipped corners. Forms are compact and vertically emphasized, with squared counters, short apertures, and a forward-leaning rhythm. Stroke endings are abruptly cut and often chamfered, creating a consistent “carved” silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with small internal notches and angled joins adding texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, sports branding, game titles, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It reads most confidently at display sizes where the faceting and internal cuts remain clear; for longer passages, generous tracking and leading help prevent dark, compressed lines from closing in.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and competitive—more like a racing decal or action headline than a quiet text face. Its hard edges and compressed stance give it a tough, mechanical attitude with a distinctly retro arcade/sports flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using faceted geometry and a strong slant to convey speed and toughness. Its consistent chiseled construction suggests an intent to evoke engineered, performance-driven visuals rather than neutral everyday typography.
The design relies on repeated diagonal cuts and stepped terminals to maintain cohesion, which can visually thicken joins in dense strings. The faceted construction is especially apparent in rounded letters and numerals, where octagonal outlines and tight counters prioritize impact over softness.
