A heavy, oblique display sans built from sharply cut, planar strokes that replace curves with crisp facets. Forms are wide and compact with squared counters, cropped terminals, and consistent diagonal slicing at joins and ends, producing a mechanical, machined rhythm. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged construction with short ascenders/descenders and sturdy bowls, while numerals keep the same clipped geometry for a uniform, punchy color in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, identity marks, team or event branding, esports/game UI, and product titling where its faceted construction can read as a stylistic feature. It can also work for labels and packaging accents, but will be most legible and distinctive when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone feels forceful and high-energy, with a tech-meets-action attitude. Its chiseled facets and forward slant suggest speed, toughness, and a utilitarian, engineered aesthetic rather than warmth or refinement.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, speed-oriented display voice through faceted geometry and an oblique stance, translating a hard, industrial edge into a consistent sans wordshape. The emphasis is on visual impact and a stylized, angular silhouette rather than neutral body-text readability.
The strong internal angles and tight apertures create a dense texture, especially in smaller sizes and in letters with multiple facets. The most distinctive signature is the repeated beveling on terminals and corners, which gives the face a consistent “cut metal” look across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
