A sharply faceted sans with an oblique stance and extended proportions. Strokes are built from straight segments with clipped corners and planar cuts, creating octagonal counters and chamfered terminals rather than true curves. The forms keep a largely uniform stroke thickness, while angled joins and wedge-like details add a sense of motion; apertures are narrow and counters are compact. Lowercase appears more stylized and streamlined than the uppercase, with single-storey shapes and short ascenders that reinforce a tight, forward-leaning texture.
Well suited to headlines, display typography, esports and gaming graphics, tech or industrial branding, and poster treatments where a sharp, high-energy voice is needed. It can also work for UI or labeling in short bursts, particularly in titles and callouts, but is less comfortable for long-form reading.
The overall tone is futuristic and mechanical, with a fast, assertive energy. Its faceted construction reads like machined lettering, suggesting speed, hardware, and sci‑fi interfaces rather than softness or tradition.
The design appears intended to translate geometric sans proportions into a hard-edged, planar aesthetic, emphasizing speed and precision through slant, chamfered corners, and angular counters. The consistent stroke weight and repeated facet angles aim to keep the style cohesive across letters and numerals while delivering a distinctly sci‑fi, performance-oriented personality.
At text sizes the angularity and tight internal spaces can make some characters feel similar, especially where counters become small and strokes converge. It performs best when given room—larger sizes, generous tracking, or shorter lines—so the facets and cut-ins remain clear.
