A compact, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners that turn curves into crisp planar facets. Strokes are heavy and even, with mostly straight verticals and horizontals and a consistent octagonal logic in rounds like O, C, and G. Counters are relatively tight and squared-off, terminals are blunt, and joins are clean and mechanical. The lowercase follows the same constructed geometry, staying tall and firm with minimal curvature, while numerals echo the same faceted silhouettes for a cohesive, system-like texture.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, and bold callouts. The condensed, faceted structure also fits sports branding and apparel graphics, as well as wayfinding or industrial-style signage where a tough, stamped aesthetic is desired.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its angular construction evokes athletic numbering, equipment labeling, and rugged signage, giving it a slightly retro-tech and tactical character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, octagonal construction into a straightforward sans that reads like cut metal or stenciled labeling. Its emphasis on sharp facets and compact proportions suggests a focus on high-impact display typography with a rugged, technical feel.
The rhythm is dense and punchy, producing strong color in lines of text. Faceting is applied consistently across the set, so mixed-case settings and numerals maintain a unified, engineered look.
