A sharp, faceted sans with oblique construction and planar cuts that replace curves with straight segments. Strokes are largely monolinear, but many terminals taper into pointed wedges, giving the outlines a carved, blade-like finish. Counters tend to be polygonal (notably in O, Q, and 0), and bowls are built from angled facets rather than smooth arcs. Proportions are compact with tight apertures and a rhythmic, slightly forward-leaning stance; uppercase forms read sturdy and blocky while lowercase forms become more irregular and kinetic, with distinctive angled joins and occasional notch-like details.
Best suited to display settings where its faceted silhouettes and sharp terminals can carry impact—such as posters, headlines, branding marks, game titles, and music/entertainment graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a technical, aggressive flavor is desired, but it is less optimal for extended text due to its busy edges and tight apertures.
The overall tone feels hard, mechanical, and assertive—more forged than drawn. Its oblique momentum and knife-cut terminals suggest speed and tension, creating a modern, combative energy that can read as cyber, metal, or industrial depending on context.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a carved, machined aesthetic into a readable sans, using angled facets and wedge terminals to project motion and toughness. The consistent geometric logic across caps, lowercase, and numerals suggests an emphasis on strong identity and high visual bite over typographic neutrality.
The design emphasizes crisp corners and chamfered geometry throughout, producing strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. Mixed-case text shows intentional quirks and varied internal angles that add personality but may reduce smoothness in long passages. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with angular 2/3/5 and a polygonal 8 that reinforces the constructed, emblematic feel.
