A heavy, oblique sans with faceted construction that replaces smooth curves with short planar segments. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with occasional abrupt tapers and notched joins that create a carved, irregular rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal (notably in O/Q/0/8), while diagonals and terminals skew forward for a fast, slanted texture. Overall spacing feels generous for display use, and the silhouettes read as intentionally rugged rather than mechanically uniform.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics where the angular texture can carry the message. It can also work for punchy captions or pull quotes at larger sizes, while extended body text may feel visually busy due to the faceting and oblique stance.
The faceted, chiseled outlines and forward slant give the font an assertive, kinetic tone. It suggests speed, impact, and a slightly gritty, handmade edge—more street-sign and game-title energy than neutral UI polish.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, energetic voice by combining an oblique stance with carved, polygonal letterforms. Its consistent faceting across letters and numerals suggests a deliberate display aesthetic aimed at strong recognition and a rugged, contemporary edge.
Round characters resolve into multi-sided forms, producing a distinctive “cut stone” look in both caps and figures. The digit set matches the same angular logic, with especially graphic shapes in 2, 3, 5, and 6 that emphasize the font’s jagged personality.
