A heavy, slanted sans with a faceted construction that replaces curves with short planar cuts and chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, with squared terminals and polygonal bowls that create a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. The overall texture is compact and forceful, with straight-sided forms, clipped apertures, and tightly controlled internal counters; the numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged geometry for a consistent, logo-like feel.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, team or event marks, and apparel graphics where its bold mass and angled stance carry energy. It can also work for UI titles, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a tough, industrial voice rather than a neutral one.
The font communicates speed and toughness, pairing an italic lean with sharp, carved edges that feel competitive and high-impact. Its angular facets and dense silhouettes read as utilitarian and engineered, giving it a contemporary, no-nonsense tone suited to bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver an aggressive, speed-forward display voice by combining an italic stance with a faceted, chamfered geometry. Its consistent polygonal construction suggests a focus on strong silhouettes and immediate impact, optimized for branding and attention-grabbing typography.
The faceting is applied systematically across rounds (C, O, Q, S) and diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y), producing a distinctive polygonal silhouette at both display sizes and in longer lines. The lowercase maintains the same blocky language rather than becoming calligraphic, helping headlines retain a uniform, branded texture.
