A compact, forward-slanted sans with hard, faceted construction in place of smooth curves. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with corners cut into planar chamfers that create a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. Counters are tight and often polygonal, and terminals tend to end in sharp, oblique cuts that reinforce the sense of speed. Uppercase forms read tall and condensed, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, utilitarian skeleton with simplified joins and minimal modulation.
Best suited to attention-grabbing display settings such as headlines, posters, team or event graphics, athletic branding, and apparel marks. It also works well for packaging, labels, and short UI/wayfinding callouts where a compact, high-impact word shape is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, combining a sports-display punch with an industrial, engineered edge. Its angular facets and slanted stance suggest motion, impact, and toughness, giving it a confident, competitive voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, modern display voice by pairing condensed proportions with faceted, machined geometry. The consistent chamfering and slanted construction aim to evoke speed and toughness while maintaining clear, blocklike letterforms for bold branding statements.
The faceting is applied consistently across straight and rounded letters, producing distinctive octagonal bowls (notably in round shapes and numerals) and a crisp, technical texture in lines of text. The density and tight apertures favor larger sizes where the internal shapes can breathe, while the oblique cuts add visual momentum even in short labels.
