A heavy, angular sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted planes. The forms are slightly back-slanted, with broad, compact capitals and a tall, sturdy lowercase that keeps counters tight and rectangular. Terminals and joins are consistently chamfered, creating a cut-metal, octagonal rhythm across bowls (O, Q, 0, 8) and diagonals (K, N, V, W). Spacing reads on the tight side in running text, and the overall texture is dense and uniform with minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for game/arcade UI labels or wayfinding-style graphics where angular, machined letterforms support the theme, while longer passages may feel heavy and tightly textured.
The face projects a punchy, no-nonsense tone—mechanical and athletic rather than delicate or refined. Its back-leaning posture and hard facets evoke speed, impact, and a fabricated, equipment-like feel, with a slight retro arcade/jersey energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a fabricated, faceted aesthetic—prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent chamfers, and a dynamic back slant to suggest motion and toughness in display-centric typography.
Numerals and round letters are notably octagonal, giving the design a distinctive “cut” silhouette at display sizes. The lowercase maintains strong presence (especially a, e, s), and the punctuation in the sample blends into the same blocky, squared-off voice.
