A heavy, angular display sans with faceted corners and squared counters that read as cut or chamfered shapes rather than smooth curves. Strokes are predominantly rectilinear, with selective thinning and notches that create a crisp, mechanical contrast and a slightly segmented rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase construction closely, with a tall x-height and short extenders, producing dense, compact word shapes. Numerals follow the same beveled geometry, with octagonal and trapezoidal features that emphasize a technical, stencil-like solidity without true breaks in the forms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where the faceted geometry can be appreciated at medium to large sizes. It fits sports branding, esports/gaming graphics, product packaging, and tech-industrial themed interfaces where a hard-edged, engineered texture supports the message.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, combining a retro arcade/sports sensibility with an industrial, machined feel. Its sharp facets and dense color convey speed, toughness, and a distinctly engineered attitude suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a chiseled, machine-cut aesthetic, using controlled contrast and chamfered geometry to create a distinctive, durable voice for display typography.
Diagonal joins and clipped terminals introduce a consistent “cut-metal” motif across the set, helping maintain uniform texture at larger sizes. In running text the strong internal notches and compact spacing create an energetic, slightly aggressive pattern that favors impact over softness.
