A heavy, slanted sans with sharply faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by planar cuts, producing octagonal bowls and chiseled terminals. Strokes are broad and fairly consistent, with frequent diagonal shears at corners and joins that create a forward-leaning, aerodynamic rhythm. Counters are compact and geometric (notably in O/0 and P/R), and many letters use flattened horizontals and clipped corners that read like machined parts. The lowercase follows the same angular logic with a simple, single-storey feel and compact apertures, keeping the texture dense and high-impact in paragraphs.
Best suited for display roles where impact and speed are desirable: headlines, posters, esports and action/sports branding, sci‑fi or industrial packaging, and short UI labels in games or tech interfaces. It can work for compact taglines and captions when set with generous tracking and line spacing to keep the dense forms from closing up.
The overall tone is fast, mechanical, and game-like—more "engineered" than friendly. Its hard edges and forward slant suggest motion, competition, and a high-energy, sci‑fi or motorsport attitude. The faceted geometry also gives it a rugged, industrial confidence that reads well in bold statements.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, machined aesthetic, emphasizing motion through a consistent slant and sharp, cut-corner detailing. It aims for a cohesive, high-impact look across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals that feels engineered and contemporary.
In the sample text, the tight internal spaces and sharp diagonals create a strong, dark typographic color, especially at smaller sizes or in long lines. Numerals match the letterforms with the same clipped, angular silhouettes (the 0 is notably octagonal), supporting a consistent display system across alphanumerics.
