A slanted, condensed display sans built from hard, planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with abrupt chamfered corners, clipped terminals, and polygonal bowls (notably in C/O/Q and the rounded lowercase). The rhythm is tight and forward-leaning, with compact apertures and a slightly mechanical construction that keeps counters small and edges crisp. Numerals and capitals follow the same cut, octagonal logic, giving the set a consistent, machined silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or motorsport branding, team apparel, game/esports graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It will be most effective at medium-to-large sizes where the faceting and clipped corners remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, combining a sporty, speed-driven slant with a rugged, fabricated feel. Its faceted geometry reads as tough and purposeful, evoking equipment labeling, motorsport energy, and bold headline attitude rather than quiet neutrality.
The font appears designed to translate a fast, angular, engineered look into a compact headline style, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and a consistent faceted construction across letters and figures.
The design favors sharp joins and straight segments throughout, producing strong black shapes at larger sizes. Some forms incorporate distinctive notches and stepped diagonals that emphasize the “cut metal” aesthetic and help differentiate similar letters in quick reads (e.g., G, S, and the angular lowercase).
