A heavy, condensed sans with a distinctly faceted construction. Strokes are thick and consistent, with corners frequently chamfered into angled cuts that create an octagonal, stencil-like silhouette without actual breaks. Counters are compact and often squarish, and joins stay blunt and structural rather than smooth. The uppercase is broad-shouldered and tightly fit; the lowercase echoes the same geometry with single-storey forms and chunky terminals, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals follow the same clipped, hard-edged logic, reading best at larger sizes where the internal shapes open up.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, team or event branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It can work for brief subheads or labels when given extra space, but it is less comfortable for extended reading at small sizes due to its dense interiors and heavy color.
The overall tone is bold and rugged, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, athletic lettering, and utility branding. The angular corner cuts add a mechanized, engineered feel, while the tight width and massed black shapes project urgency and impact.
The font appears designed to maximize visual punch in a compact width while maintaining a distinctive geometric identity. The recurring chamfered corners suggest an intention to evoke industrial fabrication and classic display lettering, prioritizing recognizability and attitude over delicate detail.
In longer lines the weight and tight spacing create a strong horizontal band of black, so generous tracking and ample line spacing help maintain clarity. The design’s repeated chamfers create a consistent rhythm across mixed-case text, but the dense counters mean it performs best when not set too small.
