A condensed, all-caps-friendly sans with an angular, faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped corners and short planar segments. Strokes are uniform and heavy, producing strong vertical rhythm and dark, even color in lines of text. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular/hexagonal, with repeated chamfered terminals creating a consistent octagonal silhouette across letters and numerals. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry, keeping bowls and joins squared-off and minimizing calligraphic contrast.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product branding, and packaging where its condensed width and faceted shapes create a strong, graphic presence. It can also work for sports and team-style applications, wayfinding-style labels, and bold UI accents when set at sizes large enough to keep counters open.
The face reads as tough and utilitarian, with a built-for-signage directness that feels industrial and athletic. Its sharp facets and compressed proportions evoke stencil-like hardware markings, sports jersey lettering, and retro techno titling, giving it a purposeful, no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, engineered look. Its systematic chamfers and uniform stroke treatment suggest a focus on repeatable geometry and strong legibility at display sizes rather than nuanced text reading.
The punctuation and figures match the same clipped-corner logic, helping mixed text retain a cohesive texture. In sample lines, the tight interior spaces and dense weight emphasize impact over delicacy, making spacing and size choices important for preserving clarity.
