This typeface uses sharp, planar facets to suggest curves, producing octagonal bowls and chamfered terminals throughout. Strokes remain consistently even, with a noticeably condensed stance and a steady oblique slant that keeps lines of text moving forward. Counters are compact but cleanly opened, and joins tend to be hard-angled rather than rounded, giving the letterforms a cut, machined feel. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with a clear differentiation between straight stems and clipped corners that reads as intentionally geometric.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted geometry can be appreciated—such as headlines, poster typography, logos, and packaging. It also fits UI labels, esports or sports-themed graphics, and technology or industrial branding where a precise, constructed voice is desired.
The overall tone feels engineered and assertive, combining a modern, utilitarian voice with a slightly retro sci‑fi edge. Its faceted construction conveys precision and toughness, lending a sporty, mechanical character to headlines and short bursts of text.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic, replacing curves with crisp chamfers while maintaining a straightforward, functional structure. Its condensed proportions and oblique stance suggest a focus on energy and forward motion for attention-grabbing display use.
Capitals are especially architectural, with squared-off curves and uniform stroke behavior that stays consistent across the set. Numerals follow the same chamfered geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive. The oblique angle is strong enough to be expressive, while the simplified forms keep it from becoming overly decorative.
