A heavy, angular sans with faceted corners and straight-sided bowls that read as cut from a solid block. Strokes are mostly monolinear, with slightly tapered joins and frequent diagonal shears that give many terminals a wedge-like finish. Counters are compact and often squared-off (notably in C, G, O, Q, and lowercase o/p/q), and apertures tend to be narrow, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase features a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, while overall widths fluctuate by glyph, adding a lively, irregular rhythm without losing consistency.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and logo work where the angular silhouettes can carry the design. It performs well in energetic branding—especially sports, gaming, or industrial themes—and in short bursts of copy such as badges, apparel graphics, or packaging callouts.
The letterforms feel mechanical and punchy, with a rugged, stamped-metal energy. The sharp cuts and compact counters give it a tough, sporty attitude with a hint of retro arcade or comic signage flavor, making the voice assertive and attention-seeking rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through blocky geometry and chamfered cuts, creating a distinctive, hard-edged sans voice that stays highly legible at display scale while projecting a rugged, action-oriented character.
Distinctive details include a squarish, boxed-in uppercase O/Q with a small, angular Q tail, a single-storey a, and a compact e with a tight aperture. Numerals follow the same faceted construction and read strongly at display sizes, while the dense interior spaces suggest careful spacing is important for smaller settings.
