A sharply faceted, slanted sans with polygonal construction that replaces curves with straight segments and abrupt corners. Strokes are largely monolinear, ending in pointed, knife-like terminals that give many letters a cut-metal feel. Counters tend toward angular, octagonal shapes, and the overall rhythm is jittery and energetic, with small variations in stroke angles and widths that read as intentionally rough-hewn rather than mechanically perfect. Uppercase forms are compact and assertive, while the lowercase keeps the same hard-edged geometry with tight bowls and brisk, forward-leaning joins.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, and short punchy phrases where its angular facets can carry the message. It can work well in gaming or sci-fi UI graphics, event posters, and music or apparel branding that wants a sharp, aggressive texture. For longer paragraphs, it’s more effective as an accent face paired with a calmer companion.
The tone is aggressive and high-tech, suggesting speed, danger, and a slightly anarchic attitude. Its shard-like corners and oblique momentum evoke sci-fi interfaces, extreme sports branding, and dystopian or cyberpunk visuals rather than neutral editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate a chiseled, planar aesthetic into a compact, forward-leaning sans for impactful display use. By emphasizing straight cuts, pointed terminals, and faceted counters, it aims to signal modernity and intensity while maintaining recognizable letterforms.
The faceting is consistent across letters and figures, producing a cohesive texture in all-caps and mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with multi-segment construction and prominent corners that make them feel display-oriented. In longer lines of text, the spiky terminals and persistent slant create a lively surface that benefits from generous tracking and moderate sizes where the angles can be read clearly.
