A heavy, forward-slanted display sans built from sharp, planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are broad and uniform with clipped corners, creating octagonal counters and squared-off terminals throughout. Proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed in the bowls and apertures, while the overall rhythm stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase maintains clear, simplified forms (single-storey a/g) and the figures are chunky and geometric, with angular cut-ins that reinforce the chiseled construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, team or event branding, and logo lockups. It can also work for apparel graphics or title cards where a bold, energetic texture is desirable, while longer paragraphs will feel heavy and tightly packed.
The faceted geometry and strong slant give the type a fast, forceful tone that reads as sporty and assertive. Its hard edges suggest machinery, competition, and action-oriented branding, with a faint retro arcade or motorsport flavor when set large.
The letterforms appear intentionally engineered to deliver maximum impact with a consistent, faceted construction, trading smooth curves for crisp chamfers and a dynamic forward lean. The goal is a modern, action-driven display voice that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design relies on repeated diagonal chamfers and notched joins to imply curvature, so texture becomes darker and more compact in tight settings. In the sample text, the dense silhouettes and small apertures emphasize punch over delicacy, making spacing and line length important for maintaining clarity.
