A condensed oblique sans with sharp planar facetting that replaces most curves with clipped corners and short straight segments. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with squared terminals and consistent angled cuts that create a chiseled, engineered texture. Counters tend to be compact and polygonal (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), while the rhythm stays tight through narrow set widths and upright-ish verticals slanted forward. The lowercase is utilitarian and compact, with simple bowls and minimal modulation; the overall construction emphasizes straight runs, chamfered joins, and a slightly rugged, stamped feel.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where a compact, aggressive oblique can add momentum. It also fits sports and motorsport aesthetics, tech-industrial branding, and labels or signage that benefit from a tough, angular presence at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and high-energy, with a streamlined, athletic lean and a hard-edged, technical attitude. Its faceted geometry reads as mechanical and tactical rather than friendly or handwritten, giving headlines an industrial, performance-driven character.
Likely designed to deliver a fast, compressed wordshape with a distinctive faceted edge, creating a recognizable, industrial voice without relying on decorative flourishes. The consistent chamfering and strong mass suggest an emphasis on impact, uniformity, and a manufactured look.
The design leans on repeated chamfers for cohesion across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a consistent “cut metal” silhouette. The numerals echo the same polygonal logic, supporting display settings where a sharp, engineered voice is desired.
