A sharply faceted, slanted sans with narrow proportions and mostly straight, planar strokes replacing conventional curves. Corners are clipped and chamfered, creating a consistent polygonal construction across bowls and terminals. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness with crisp joins, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, producing compact word shapes. Numerals and capitals share the same lean, with simplified, geometric counters and a clean, hard-edged finish.
Best suited to short, prominent settings such as headlines, posters, product marks, and branding where the faceted construction can be appreciated. It also fits sports, automotive, gaming, and tech-oriented visuals, as well as interface accents and labels when used with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels fast, engineered, and contemporary—more like motion graphics and performance branding than neutral text typography. Its angled stance and cut-in corners suggest speed and precision, giving it a slightly aggressive, high-energy voice.
The design appears intended to translate an italic grotesque skeleton into a hard-edged, polygonal aesthetic, prioritizing speed, sharpness, and a modern industrial feel. Its consistent chamfering and compressed silhouettes suggest an aim for impactful display typography that remains clean and controlled rather than decorative.
At larger sizes the faceting reads as an intentional design motif, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and sharp interior angles may visually close up, especially in dense settings. The distinctive, angular digit forms reinforce a technical, instrument-like character.
