A heavy, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners and a consistent, monoline-like stroke presence. Letterforms are constructed from straight segments and trapezoidal joins, with a pronounced left-leaning slant that creates a dynamic, forward-tilted rhythm across words. Counters are generally small and squarish, and many terminals end in hard, beveled cuts that emphasize a carved, geometric silhouette. Overall spacing feels tight and compact in the sample text, with irregular, deliberately idiosyncratic widths that add a mechanical, cut-out quality to the texture.
Best suited for short, bold settings where shape and attitude matter more than extended readability—posters, headlines, game/UI titles, event graphics, and logo wordmarks. It can also work as an accent face on packaging or merchandise where a punchy, geometric texture is desired.
The font reads as assertive and high-impact, with a kinetic, action-oriented slant and a distinctly angular voice. Its chunky geometry suggests a tech/industrial mood, while the exaggerated cuts and quirky proportions give it an arcade-like, slightly mischievous character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through angular, cut-metal geometry and a strong slanted stance, creating a distinctive display voice that feels engineered and energetic. Its stylized proportions and tight, blocky counters prioritize visual identity and motion over neutrality.
The design relies heavily on diagonal trims and notched joins, which can cause some glyphs to appear intentionally distorted or “shaved” on one side. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, maintaining the squared counter shapes and strong, poster-like presence.
