A sharply angular, faceted sans with a pronounced rightward slant and strong stroke modulation. Letterforms are built from straight segments and clipped corners, creating a chiseled, wedge-like silhouette with frequent notches and ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal, and curves are largely substituted by chamfers, giving rounds like O and 0 a multi-sided, engineered look. Overall proportions feel tall with assertive diagonals, and the rhythm alternates between thick vertical masses and thinner connecting strokes for a high-energy texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a fast, hard-edged voice is desired. It can work well for sports identities, tech-forward packaging, and event graphics, and is most effective when given enough size and spacing for its internal cuts and stroke contrast to stay legible.
The tone is intense and kinetic, with a technical, performance-oriented edge. Its sharp cuts and forward lean suggest speed, competitiveness, and a slightly militaristic or industrial attitude, while the faceted construction also nods to retro display lettering.
The design intent appears focused on delivering a bold, high-impact italic display sans that reads as engineered and fast. The consistent use of chamfers, notches, and contrasted strokes suggests an aim for a distinctive, industrial aesthetic that remains coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The caps and figures appear particularly robust and poster-ready, while lowercase retains the same cut, angular logic for consistent texture. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry (notably the polygonal 0/8) and read best at medium to large sizes where the interior cuts remain clear.
