A heavy, oblique sans with sharply faceted outlines and a distinctly engineered, cut-metal construction. Strokes are built from straight segments with clipped corners and chamfered joins, producing octagonal counters and wedge-like terminals rather than smooth curves. Forms lean forward with a consistent slant, while internal cuts and horizontal notches (notably in letters like E, G, and 3) add a stenciled, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase is compact and upright in structure but shares the same angular modulation and closed apertures, with single-storey a and g and a squared, utilitarian feel throughout.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and motion are desired: esports identities, sports graphics, game titles, sci‑fi/tech headlines, and bold poster typography. It can also work for short UI labels or interface headings when a hard-edged, mechanical voice is needed, but the tight apertures and cut-in details favor larger sizes and shorter runs of text.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and tech-forward—suggesting speed, machinery, and competitive energy. Its sharp geometry and forward lean read as assertive and tactical, with a display-driven presence that feels at home in futuristic or industrial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, futuristic sans voice through oblique posture and aggressively chamfered geometry. The repeated internal notches and straight-edged construction suggest a deliberate “machined” aesthetic aimed at energetic branding and screen-forward display typography.
Many glyphs emphasize internal negative space through rectangular counters and deliberate horizontal incisions, giving the alphabet a consistent “cutout” motif. Diagonals are prominent (K, N, V, W, X, Y), and several characters show intentionally narrowed openings, which increases density and impact at larger sizes.
