A sharply faceted, forward-leaning sans with chamfered corners and planar cuts that replace curves with short straight segments. Strokes are heavy and uniform, producing a dense silhouette, while counters tend toward rounded-rectangular and octagonal shapes. The italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving lines a rightward momentum. Lowercase forms are large relative to capitals, with simplified, geometric constructions and occasional distinctive joins on letters like k, m, w, and x. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with a notably polygonal 0 and crisp, cut-in terminals.
Best suited for headlines, titles, posters, and identity work where the faceted geometry can be a defining visual element. It can also support themed UI/overlay typography for games or tech-forward presentations, especially in short bursts of text rather than long reading.
The overall tone feels engineered and kinetic—more “hardware” than “handwritten.” Its angular rhythm and aggressive slant suggest speed, machinery, and game or sci‑fi interfaces, with a bold, assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing display use.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, polygonal construction into a slanted sans that communicates speed and modernity. By consistently substituting curves with facets and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for a crisp, engineered look that remains bold and legible in display settings.
Spacing and shapes read most cohesive at medium-to-large sizes where the faceting and clipped terminals remain clear. The design emphasizes straight edges and corner breaks, creating a mechanical texture in text and a strong, logo-like presence in short words.
