A sharply faceted, slanted sans with planar cuts that replace curves throughout the design. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with angled terminals and consistent chamfering that creates a crisp, polygonal silhouette. Counters tend toward squarish forms (notably in O and 0), and joins are abrupt and mechanical, producing a tight, energetic rhythm. Widths vary by glyph with a generally extended feel, and the overall stance reads forward-leaning and fast.
Best suited to short, prominent text such as headlines, posters, esports or gaming titles, and energetic branding where impact matters more than long-form readability. It also fits UI splash screens, product marks, and sci-fi or industrial-themed graphics where sharp geometry reinforces the message.
The tone is futuristic and high-impact, suggesting speed, machinery, and digital hardware aesthetics. Its angular construction and hard edges give it a decisive, somewhat aggressive voice suited to action-oriented and tech-forward messaging.
The design appears intended to translate an engineered, faceted aesthetic into a usable sans alphabet, prioritizing speed and edge over softness. By standardizing chamfers and slanted geometry across letters and numerals, it aims to deliver a cohesive, high-energy display voice for modern, tech-leaning applications.
Distinctive faceting is especially evident in rounded characters (C, G, O, S) and in the numerals, where chamfers create a segmented, engineered look. The uppercase maintains strong presence at display sizes, while the lowercase mirrors the same angular grammar for a cohesive, uniform texture in short lines.
