A slanted, angular sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, creating an octagonal, machined look. Strokes are heavy and even, with tight, square internal counters and small chamfers that repeat consistently across rounds like O/C/G as well as digits such as 0/8/9. Proportions read as compact with firm shoulders and diagonals, and the italic angle adds forward motion without introducing calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to short-form display settings where its angular detailing can read clearly: sports identities, team apparel graphics, event posters, game titles, and high-impact UI labels. It can also work for logos and badges that benefit from a rigid, geometric silhouette.
The overall tone is energetic and competitive, with a utilitarian, engineered edge. Its faceted geometry suggests speed, equipment, and modern manufacturing, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of beveled or cut material into a typographic system, delivering a fast, athletic italic with consistent chamfers and strong silhouettes for branding-led display use.
The rhythm is dominated by straight horizontals and diagonals, producing crisp joins and a slightly stencil-like, cut-metal impression without actual breaks. The figures match the uppercase in presence, with squared terminals and consistent corner treatment for a cohesive alphanumeric set.
