A heavy, squared sans with faceted corners that replace most curves with short diagonals and flat planes. Strokes are monolinear and the geometry is built from straight segments, producing crisp octagonal counters in letters like O and 0 and a clipped, chamfered feel throughout. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with a large, readable lowercase and short extenders; spacing reads even and blocky, supporting dense settings. Numerals and capitals follow the same engineered construction, with emphatic right angles and consistent corner treatments.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, engineered voice is needed. It also works well for sports branding, packaging, and wayfinding/signage-style applications that benefit from rigid geometry and high visual punch.
The overall tone is industrial and performance-oriented, evoking stenciled labeling, sports uniforms, and rugged equipment graphics. Its sharp facets and squared forms give it a techno-mechanical character that feels assertive, practical, and slightly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to translate a hard-edged, machined aesthetic into a clean sans structure, prioritizing impact, consistency, and a recognizable faceted silhouette. The clipped corners and squared counters suggest a goal of combining legibility with an industrial, emblematic look for display-led typography.
Round letters are intentionally polygonal, and terminals tend to end in flat cuts rather than tapering or soft joins. The design maintains clear internal openings and strong silhouette contrast against the page, which helps it hold up at larger display sizes and in high-impact branding.
