A heavy, slanted sans with hard, faceted construction and chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and squared off, with planar cut-ins replacing curves in bowls and joints, creating a crisp, engineered silhouette. Counters tend to be compact and rectilinear (notably in O/0 and P/R), and terminals often end in beveled angles that emphasize forward motion. The lowercase is sturdy and utilitarian with simplified forms and minimal modulation, while figures are block-like and tightly enclosed, reading clearly in bold display settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as posters, headlines, sports and team branding, event graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for signage or labels where a compact, hard-edged look is desired, especially at larger sizes where the faceted details remain distinct.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a rugged, no-nonsense attitude. Its faceted geometry and slant evoke speed, machinery, and competitive energy, giving it a distinctly sporty and industrial presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a fast, technical aesthetic: a bold, slanted sans built from angled planes to suggest motion and strength while keeping letterforms simple and readable for display.
The sharp corner treatment is applied consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel unified. The italic slant and clipped geometry create strong texture in lines of text, favoring impact over softness.
