A heavy, compressed sans with a consistent rightward slant and crisp, planar cuts that replace most curves. Strokes are largely even in thickness, with corners chamfered into hard facets, giving letters an engineered, cut-metal feel. Counters are compact and polygonal, apertures are tight, and terminals tend to end in angled, clipped edges rather than rounded finishes. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with sturdy capitals and straightforward figures built from the same faceted geometry.
Best suited to display roles where density and impact are desirable: headlines, posters, team or event branding, esports graphics, labels, and packaging. It also fits UI accents or badges where a compact, assertive wordmark needs to hold its shape in limited horizontal space.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, combining a sporty, high-impact presence with a technical, equipment-like edge. Its sharp facets and slanted stance read as energetic and purpose-built, suggesting motion, toughness, and a no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended to translate a bold, condensed sans into a faceted, machined aesthetic—prioritizing punchy silhouettes, fast recognition, and a sense of momentum over softness or calligraphic nuance.
The faceting is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, which helps the face stay cohesive in mixed-case settings. Narrow proportions and tight internal space increase visual punch in short lines, but also make the texture feel compact at smaller sizes.
