A heavy, forward-leaning display face built from chunky, faceted shapes. Strokes are rendered as solid masses with chamfered corners and frequent diagonal cuts, producing a chiseled, mechanical silhouette. Counters are largely collapsed into the surrounding forms, so letters read as compact blocks with notches and breaks rather than open interior spaces. Proportions feel expanded horizontally and tightly packed, with small gaps and sharp terminals creating a restless rhythm across words.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, sports or action branding, game/UI headlines, and bold packaging callouts. It works particularly well where dense, solid letterforms are desired and where the text can be kept brief to preserve quick recognition.
The overall tone is loud and kinetic, with a brash, game-like energy. Its angled cuts and compressed apertures evoke machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era graphics, while the exaggerated shapes can also read as playful or tongue-in-cheek when set in longer phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, sculpted letter blocks, using angled cuts and collapsed interiors to create a distinctive silhouette. It prioritizes attitude and motion over neutrality, aiming for a graphic, emblematic presence in display typography.
The alphabet shows intentional irregularity in corner treatments and cut angles, giving the set a rugged, hand-cut consistency rather than geometric precision. Numerals and capitals maintain the same faceted construction, and the slant is strong enough to become a primary part of the personality at headline sizes.
