A condensed, forward-slanted sans with sharp planar facets replacing most curves. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with corners cut into consistent chamfers that create a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Counters and apertures skew toward polygonal shapes (notably in C, G, O, Q, and e), and the overall silhouette feels tall with compact sidebearings. The lowercase keeps a straightforward construction with a single-storey a and g, while numerals echo the same beveled geometry for a cohesive, hard-edged texture.
Best suited for high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, team or event graphics, and energetic brand marks. It can also work well for UI labels, dashboards, or packaging that benefits from a technical, speed-oriented aesthetic, especially when set with generous tracking and clear size contrast.
The faceted angles and pronounced slant give the face a fast, energetic tone that reads as sporty and modern. Its hard corners and compact width add a utilitarian, engineered feel, suggesting speed, machinery, and competitive intensity rather than softness or tradition.
This design appears intended to translate a streamlined, performance-driven look into a compact sans by using consistent chamfers and angular substitutions for curves. The goal is a cohesive, high-energy texture that stays legible while projecting a mechanical, contemporary edge.
Diagonal strokes and chamfered terminals are used as a unifying motif, producing strong directional flow across words. The dense color and tight shapes make it most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where the internal angles and counters can stay clear.
