A heavy, slanted display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. The letterforms are compact and punchy, with broad strokes, tight counters, and a slightly forward-leaning rhythm that keeps words moving across the line. Geometry is predominantly rectangular with clipped terminals and octagonal-like bowls in characters such as O and Q, creating a consistent, machined silhouette. Lowercase forms stay sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g and minimal detailing, while numerals follow the same cut-corner construction for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or athletic identities, and bold packaging or apparel graphics. It can also work for labels, badges, and UI moments where a compact, energetic wordmark-like presence is desired, rather than extended text reading.
The overall tone is forceful and competitive, evoking sports branding, equipment labeling, and high-impact headlines. Its faceted construction and strong slant read as fast, rugged, and utilitarian—more about momentum and impact than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a compact, forward-leaning structure and a distinctive faceted construction that stays consistent across the character set. It prioritizes a rugged, engineered look and quick recognition for display-driven typography.
Because many apertures and counters are small at this weight, the face feels most confident when given room—either at larger sizes or with generous tracking. The consistent chamfer language across capitals, lowercase, and figures reinforces a uniform, engineered personality.
