A heavy, angular sans with a consistent left-leaning slant and chiseled, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are built from straight strokes and faceted corners, with frequent clipped joins that create small notches and sharp counters. Curves are minimized into polygonal arcs (notably in C, G, O, and S), producing a rigid, engineered rhythm. The numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry, and overall spacing reads assertive and compact, favoring bold silhouette clarity over interior openness at smaller sizes.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouette and attitude are priorities: headlines, posters, event graphics, team or sports branding, logotypes, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style treatments when used at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The style communicates a tough, machine-made attitude—part retro display, part utilitarian signage. Its sharp cuts and forward-leaning stance feel energetic and confrontational, lending a sense of speed and impact that suits attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through bold massing, angular construction, and a dynamic slant, evoking industrial or arcade-era lettering while remaining firmly sans and geometric. Its systematic faceting suggests a purposeful, engineered aesthetic aimed at high-energy branding and titling.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly constructed, modular feel, with the lowercase retaining the same squared-off structure rather than becoming more calligraphic. The pronounced faceting and notched intersections can create distinctive texture in longer lines, especially where repeated verticals and tight counters stack up.
