A heavy, geometric sans with octagonal, chamfered corners and faceted construction that replaces curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, creating a compact, sturdy silhouette and strong figure/ground presence. Counters tend to be squared and inset, and joins are clean and abrupt, giving letters a machined, stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. Lowercase follows the same angular logic, with a single-storey a and g and simplified terminals that stay flat and squared.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and product naming where the angular silhouette can carry the message. It also fits sports graphics, uniforms, and scoreboard-style numerals, plus gaming or tech-themed UI moments when set large. For longer text, it will perform more reliably in larger sizes with generous tracking.
The overall tone feels industrial and performance-driven, with a rugged, engineered confidence. Its faceted geometry evokes machinery, arcade/sci-fi interfaces, and athletic numbering, reading as bold and no-nonsense rather than friendly or lyrical.
The font appears designed to deliver a tough, geometric display voice through faceted forms and consistent heavy strokes, prioritizing instant recognition and a manufactured, hard-edged character. Its construction suggests an intent to echo cut metal, signage, or equipment markings while remaining a straightforward sans structure.
The design’s sharp chamfers create strong internal diagonals and distinctive corner highlights, which help large settings look punchy and emblematic. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and dense weight can reduce clarity, so spacing and size choices matter for comfortable reading.
