A heavy, compact sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters tend to be rectangular or octagonal, with flat terminals and minimal modulation, creating a uniform, carved silhouette. Proportions are tight and condensed, with sturdy verticals, squared bowls, and a consistent geometric rhythm that stays crisp at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged construction, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure with simple joins and firm shoulders.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong impact and a compact footprint are important. It works well for sports identity, industrial or tech-themed graphics, and bold labels or packaging, and can be effective in short signage-style lines where the faceted forms read cleanly.
The sharp facets and dense color give the font a tough, no-nonsense voice that reads as industrial and assertive. Its sculpted, stencil-adjacent geometry also carries a sporty, scoreboard-like energy with a subtle retro-tech feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through a condensed, hard-edged construction that mimics cut or machined lettering. By systematically faceting curves into straight planes, it aims for a rugged, engineered look that stays consistent across letters and figures.
Diagonal elements are used sparingly and feel structural rather than calligraphic, helping the design stay rigid and mechanical. The overall texture is dark and stable, with clear, blocky shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
