A heavy, angular sans built from straight strokes and planar facets, with corners cut into crisp chamfers instead of curves. The forms are wide and squat with a tall x-height, deep rectangular counters, and a consistent forward-leaning stance that reads like a built-in slant. Stroke endings are sharply trimmed, producing a notched, wedge-cut rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase; bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal, squared-off silhouettes. Spacing appears moderately open for such dense shapes, keeping words readable while maintaining a compact, mechanical texture.
Best suited to display settings where impact and style matter: headlines, logo marks, posters, esports or sports branding, and tech or gaming interfaces. It can also work for short callouts on packaging or signage, but the strong faceting and dense shapes make it less appropriate for long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic—more machine-made than humanist—with a distinctly sci‑fi and arcade-like energy. Its sharp facets and forward motion suggest speed, hardware, and engineered surfaces rather than softness or tradition.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, industrial surfaces into letterforms—substituting curves with beveled planes and maintaining a consistent forward thrust for a sense of motion. The goal is a bold, high-impact voice that feels engineered and contemporary.
Uppercase construction stays rigid and geometric, while lowercase remains similarly blocky, giving mixed-case settings a uniform, technical color. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with horizontal cuts and squared counters that match the letters and reinforce a modular, display-first feel.
