A heavy, forward-leaning sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly thick with low contrast, producing a dense, blocklike texture and strong silhouette. Counters are compact and often octagonal in feel (notably in O/Q/0/8/9), while diagonals and angled terminals create a fast, slanted rhythm. Proportions are generally compact with tight interior spaces, and the numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry for a consistent, mechanical look.
Best suited to display use where impact matters: sports identities, team apparel graphics, event posters, game titles, and bold marketing headlines. It also works for short UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve counter clarity, and for number-heavy applications like scoreboards or pricing where the faceted figures reinforce the industrial tone.
The overall tone is aggressive and high-energy, with a sporty, engineered attitude. Its sharp facets and bold massing suggest speed, toughness, and a slightly retro arcade/athletic vibe rather than a neutral everyday voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a speed-driven slant and a distinctive cut-corner construction, offering a rugged alternative to standard heavy italics. Its consistent faceting suggests a deliberate, systematized geometry aimed at logos, titles, and bold typographic statements.
The distinctive corner-cut construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving the type a cohesive ‘machined’ character. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight may reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the faceting becomes a key stylistic feature.
