A heavy, condensed display sans with an oblique (backslanted) stance and strongly faceted outlines. Strokes are built from straight segments with clipped corners and occasional notch-like joints, producing a chiseled, polygonal silhouette rather than smooth curves. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures tend to be tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with simplified terminals that read as cut-off planes. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, engineered construction, while lowercase retains a sturdy, utilitarian structure with minimal curvature.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as posters, athletic identities, product packaging, game/arcade themed graphics, and bold logo wordmarks. It works particularly well in short phrases where its angular cuts and oblique momentum can read as deliberate styling rather than texture.
The tone is forceful and mechanical, evoking industrial signage, action-oriented branding, and throwback sports or arcade energy. Its backslant adds urgency and motion, while the angular cuts give it a rugged, hard-edged personality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact width while projecting motion and toughness. The faceted construction and clipped terminals suggest a deliberate “machined” or “cut-metal” aesthetic aimed at energetic, attention-grabbing typography.
At larger sizes the faceting and corner cuts become a defining texture; at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense shapes may visually fill in, especially in letters like a/e/s and numerals with enclosed forms. The oblique direction is consistent across the set and contributes to a forward-driving word image even in short headlines.
