A sharply faceted, forward-leaning sans with straight strokes and chamfered corners standing in for curves. Letterforms are built from planar segments with clipped terminals, producing octagonal counters in round characters and a consistently hard-edged silhouette. Strokes stay largely uniform, with compact spacing and a slightly mechanical rhythm; widths vary by character, while the overall texture remains tight and cohesive. Numerals echo the same polygonal construction, with notably angular bowls and corners.
Best suited for display applications where its angular construction can be appreciated: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and tech- or sports-oriented graphics. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable, but it’s less geared toward long-form reading.
The overall tone feels technical and energetic, with a sporty, modernist edge. Its faceted geometry reads as industrial and futuristic, while the oblique stance adds motion and urgency. The look also suggests a retro digital or arcade influence through its crisp, cut-corner construction.
The design appears intended to translate an oblique grotesque skeleton into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic, replacing curves with crisp planes for a distinctive geometric voice. It prioritizes a bold, kinetic texture and recognizability over softness, aiming for a contemporary industrial feel with retro-tech undertones.
Diagonal joins and clipped corners are prominent across both cases, creating a distinctive zig-zag cadence in text. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation from the uppercase while preserving the same geometric rules, and round letters consistently resolve into multi-sided forms rather than smooth arcs.
