A compact, oblique sans with chunky, faceted construction that replaces curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes stay consistently heavy with minimal modulation, while corners are clipped into chamfers that create a mechanical, segmented rhythm. The forms are tightly proportioned and forward-leaning, with squared counters and squared-off terminals that keep silhouettes bold and compact. Numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, producing a cohesive, hard-edged texture in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as sports branding, team and league graphics, event posters, esports and racing visuals, and punchy headlines. It can also work for packaging or labels where a rugged, engineered voice is desired and large sizes can showcase the faceted detailing.
The overall tone is energetic and forceful, with a forward motion that reads as sporty and no-nonsense. Its sharp facets and compressed stance suggest speed, strength, and a utilitarian, engineered aesthetic. The texture feels modern-mechanical with a hint of retro athletics and action-title styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while maintaining a consistent, angular motif throughout the alphabet and numerals. Its oblique posture and chamfered geometry suggest a deliberate emphasis on speed, toughness, and a contemporary-industrial display voice.
The facet cuts are applied consistently across curved and straight strokes, giving the face a distinctive “machined” look that stays legible at larger sizes. Spacing appears tight and the dense black shapes create strong word images, especially in all-caps settings. The angled stance and clipped joins add visual bite, making the type feel more like a display workhorse than a quiet text face.
