A condensed, heavy sans with chamfered corners that turn curves into crisp planar facets. Strokes stay consistently thick, with squared terminals and tight apertures that create a compact, high-impact texture in text. Counters are mostly polygonal (notably in O, Q, and 8), and joins are sharp and mechanical, giving the alphabet a rigid, constructed feel. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, reading like cut metal or stenciled plate forms.
Best suited to short, bold applications where impact and a compact footprint matter—headlines, posters, sports identities, badges, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for numbering systems and labels where the faceted figures reinforce a rugged, technical look.
The font conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone with strong industrial and athletic associations. Its faceted geometry and tight spacing feel engineered and purposeful, projecting authority and durability rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate traditional sans shapes into a faceted, cut-corner construction that remains straightforward and sturdy. By keeping stroke weight uniform and proportions condensed, it prioritizes punchy visibility and an engineered aesthetic over typographic subtlety.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, producing a distinctive octagonal rhythm in both caps and figures. In longer samples, the dense vertical emphasis and squared punctuation contribute to a compact, sign-like color that stays legible at moderate sizes but can feel intense in extended reading.
