A sharply constructed oblique sans with a modular, angular skeleton and frequent open corners. Strokes are mostly straight with crisp joints, producing squared curves that read as faceted rather than rounded; many bowls and terminals are cut back into notches or stepped chamfers. The rhythm is narrow-to-moderate but visually tight due to the slanted stance and frequent horizontal breaks, with a tall lowercase presence and compact counters that stay legible through consistent stroke logic. Numerals and capitals follow the same rectilinear language, emphasizing straight segments, clipped corners, and occasional gaps that create a semi-stenciled effect.
Best suited to display settings where its angular oblique construction can carry personality—headlines, posters, logos, and packaging. It also fits tech-leaning contexts such as gaming graphics, esports identities, UI titles, and motion design where a futuristic, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone feels technical and forward-leaning, with a sporty, sci‑fi edge. Its sharp angles and cut-out details add a slightly aggressive, high-energy character that suggests speed, machinery, and digital interfaces rather than softness or neutrality.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a sci‑fi, technical aesthetic through rectilinear geometry, consistent slant, and deliberate cut-ins that mimic engineered parts or segmented display shapes. The goal is recognizability and attitude at larger sizes while maintaining a coherent modular system across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on repeated corner cuts and internal breaks to create texture and differentiation, giving headings a distinctive, coded look. In longer text the angular joins and notched terminals become a strong stylistic signature, so spacing and line length will influence how busy or clean it feels.
