A sharply faceted, oblique sans built from planar strokes and chamfered corners rather than smooth curves. Letterforms are compact and tightly drawn, with squared-off terminals, notched joins, and octagonal-style counters that give rounds like O and Q a cut-corner silhouette. The rhythm is energetic and forward-leaning, with sturdy verticals and simplified diagonals that keep texture dense and punchy in words and lines. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, reading like athletic or stencil-adjacent figures without true breaks in the strokes.
Best suited for branding and display typography where impact and motion matter—sports identities, team graphics, posters, packaging, and apparel. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when a rugged, technical feel is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels sporty and utilitarian, with a competitive, high-impact voice suited to fast-paced contexts. Its hard angles and forward slant suggest motion, toughness, and a no-nonsense, engineered attitude.
The font appears designed to translate athletic and industrial cues into a clean sans structure, replacing curves with consistent planar cuts to emphasize speed, strength, and a fabricated aesthetic.
The design maintains consistent facet angles across caps, lowercase, and figures, which said, creates a cohesive “machined” look at display sizes. In longer setting the tight apertures and compact counters produce a dark, continuous color that favors headlines over extended small text.
