A sharply angular display sans with hard-edged, chamfered corners and a consistently slanted construction. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared counters and frequent triangular cut-ins that create a carved, stencil-like rhythm. The letterforms favor flattened curves and geometric joints, producing tight apertures and compact internal spaces; terminals are abrupt and often notched, reinforcing a mechanical, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals match the same faceted geometry, while the lowercase maintains a tall, assertive profile with simplified bowls and angular joins.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, event posters, team marks, game titles, and product branding where the angular silhouette can carry the design. It also works well for tech or industrial themed graphics and UI-style labeling when set large with generous tracking.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and tech-forward, evoking racing graphics, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display lettering. Its sharp cuts and dense black shapes communicate intensity and momentum rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-energy, geometric display voice that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals while emphasizing speed and precision through chamfered angles and cut-in details.
In the text sample, the strong slant and tight apertures make spacing and line breaks feel energetic but visually busy at smaller sizes. The most successful read is at large sizes where the faceted cuts and distinctive counters become clear and intentional.
