A compact, heavy block display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal geometry. Strokes stay consistently thick, producing strong rectangular counters and tight apertures, while chamfers at terminals and joins create a rhythmic, machined texture. Uppercase forms are tall and compact; lowercase echoes the same construction with simplified, sturdy shapes and minimal curvature. Numerals follow the same planar logic, with squared bowls and crisp diagonal cut-ins that keep the set visually uniform at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, packaging titles, and bold signage. It also works well for numbers in scoreboards, labels, and merchandise where strong, compact forms are an advantage.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining a utilitarian, engineered feel with a retro sign-painter/scoreboard energy. Its faceted construction reads as tough and mechanical, giving headlines an assertive, impactful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using faceted corners and uniform stroke weight to create a rugged, industrial display look that stays consistent across letters and figures.
The dense spacing and small internal counters make the silhouette dominate, especially in long lines of text. Angular notches and clipped corners become the primary detail, so the design benefits from ample size and contrast to keep counters and joins clear.
