A tightly built oblique sans with hard, planar facets replacing most curves. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with clipped corners, small triangular notches, and beveled terminals that create a chiseled rhythm. Counters are compact and squarish, and the overall set reads tall and condensed with a forward slant; diagonals (A, V, W, Y) and straight-sided bowls (O, Q, 0, 8) emphasize the geometric, machined feel. Figures and capitals share the same rugged, cut-metal logic, producing strong texture in headlines and short lines.
Best suited to sports identities, team graphics, motorsport and gaming visuals, and apparel or merch where strong silhouettes matter. It also works well for posters, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sharp, industrial edge; for longer text, it will be most comfortable in larger sizes with generous spacing.
The face projects speed and impact, with a no-nonsense, mechanical confidence. Its faceted construction and forward lean suggest motion, competition, and engineered toughness, giving it a bold, poster-like presence even in simple copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice by combining a condensed stance with chiseled, faceted geometry. The consistent beveling and clipped corners aim to evoke engineered materials and motion while preserving clear, sturdy letterforms.
The angular detailing is consistent across cases, with simplified lowercase forms that keep counters tight and strokes punchy. The oblique angle is pronounced enough to read as dynamic rather than merely slanted, and the faceting provides distinctive silhouettes that remain recognizable at display sizes.
