A compact, heavy display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick and uniform, with squared terminals and frequent 45° chamfers that give bowls and joints an octagonal feel. Counters are tight and geometric, and the overall rhythm is dense and grid-like, producing strong texture in words and a sturdy, engineered silhouette across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines and short text where its faceted construction can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works well for logos, packaging, sports branding, and event graphics that benefit from a dense, high-impact word shape. For extended reading, the tight counters and strong texture are likely to feel heavy, so it’s most effective in bursts rather than long paragraphs.
The sharp facets and compact build create a tough, utilitarian tone that reads as technical and purposeful. Its geometry evokes industrial signage and athletic mark-making, with a distinctly retro digital flavor that feels at home in bold, high-contrast settings.
The design appears intended to translate a chiseled, polygonal construction into a clean sans framework, prioritizing bold presence and a consistent angular system over smooth curves. The uniform stroke and repeated chamfers suggest a modular approach meant to feel precise, durable, and distinctly geometric.
Lowercase forms echo the caps with similarly clipped joins, and round shapes like O/0 and G are rendered as multi-sided outlines rather than true curves. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, supporting consistent styling in codes, scores, and headings.
