A heavy, tightly set sans with a forward slant and sharply chamfered corners that turn many curves into planar facets. Strokes are uniformly thick with squared terminals and occasional notch-like cut-ins, giving counters a clipped, geometric feel. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, short apertures, and a rhythm that reads like condensed signage; diagonals are prominent and consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to bold display settings where impact matters—sports identities, event posters, action-themed packaging, and large headlines. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style callouts when you want a compact, forceful voice, but it will feel dense in long text.
The overall tone is assertive and kinetic, with a hard-edged, machined personality. Its angular cuts and compact massing suggest speed, impact, and a no-nonsense, utilitarian attitude, leaning toward athletic and action-oriented aesthetics.
Designed to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive, faceted construction. The consistent slant and chamfered detailing appear intended to communicate motion and toughness, pairing well with energetic, high-contrast layouts.
Uppercase forms are especially monolithic and poster-like, while lowercase keeps the same faceted logic with simplified bowls and minimal curvature. Numerals are blocky and emphatic, matching the letterforms’ chamfered geometry for strong presence in short strings.
