A condensed, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, where curves are consistently replaced by angular facets. Stems are heavy and monolinear, with squared terminals and small chamfers that create an octagonal silhouette in rounded letters like C, O, and G. Counters are tight but open enough to hold at large sizes, and the overall rhythm is vertical and punchy; lowercase follows the same constructed logic with simplified forms and minimal curvature. Numerals mirror the same faceted geometry, producing a uniform, sign-like texture across mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where its angular, compact shapes can deliver impact at large sizes. It also works well for packaging, labels, and sports or event graphics that benefit from a rugged, high-energy typographic voice. For smaller text, it will typically need extra spacing to preserve legibility.
The faceted construction and compressed proportions give the font a tough, utilitarian tone with a sporty, poster-driven edge. It reads as confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro industrial feel reminiscent of stenciled or jersey-inspired lettering without literal stencil breaks.
The font appears designed to translate a geometric, faceted motif into a sturdy condensed display face, prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and a consistent engineered look over soft curves. Its forms aim for high impact and a cohesive, industrial texture in titles and short bursts of copy.
The design’s identity is carried by consistent chamfers at joins and corners, which keeps the texture crisp and mechanical. In longer lines the dense weight and tight internal spaces can increase visual darkness, so generous tracking and ample line spacing help maintain clarity.
