A compact, heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with sharp, faceted construction in place of curves. Strokes are consistently thick and monolinear, with corners cut into planar chamfers that create an octagonal, chiseled silhouette across rounds and diagonals. Counters are tight and mostly rectilinear, apertures are small, and terminals tend to end in clipped angles rather than flat or rounded cuts. Lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified, sturdy forms, producing a dense, high-impact texture in words and lines of text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, badges, and packaging where a compact, forceful voice is needed. It also fits sports identity systems, event graphics, and display signage that benefits from angular, number-friendly forms. For longer text, it’s most effective in larger sizes and with generous tracking to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial signage and sport numbering rather than editorial refinement. Its angular facets add a slightly retro, arcade/scoreboard energy while still reading as firm and modern. The weight and compressed rhythm project confidence and blunt directness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a coherent, machined geometry. By replacing curves with consistent chamfers, it aims for a rugged, constructed feel that reads quickly and looks structural, like cut metal lettering or athletic block type.
The faceting is applied consistently, giving round letters and numerals a uniform, machined look. Spacing and internal counters stay tight, so the font reads best when it can breathe—especially in smaller sizes or in long lines—while maintaining strong presence in short phrases.
