A slanted, angular sans with faceted construction where curves are replaced by planar cuts and clipped corners. Strokes are heavy and fairly uniform, with squared terminals and sharp joins that create an octagonal rhythm in round forms like C, O, and G. Proportions are compact with tight counters and a forward-leaning stance; uppercase shapes feel sturdy and blocky while lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified bowls and short, flattened curves. Numerals echo the same chamfered geometry, maintaining a consistent, cut-metal silhouette across the set.
Best suited to display settings where its sharp facets and forward motion can read clearly: sports branding, esports and gaming titles, action-oriented posters, product marks, and impactful headlines. It can also work for short technical labels or UI accents when a rugged, engineered voice is desired, but will be strongest when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and engineered, with a distinctly modern, performance-driven feel. Its faceted edges and forward slant suggest speed, precision, and a slightly militaristic or motorsport attitude, reading as confident and assertive in headlines.
The design appears intended to translate an industrial, machined aesthetic into a clean sans structure, prioritizing speed and impact over softness. By replacing curves with chamfered planes and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a cohesive, high-energy word image that stands out in branding and title treatments.
Diagonal stress and repeated chamfers create a strong texture line-to-line, especially in all caps. The faceting remains consistent across straight and curved structures, helping the design feel unified even at larger display sizes where the cut details are most visible.
