A heavy, squared sans with faceted, chamfered corners that turn most curves into crisp, planar cuts. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact counters and tight apertures that keep the silhouettes solid at display sizes. Terminals are predominantly flat, and many joins are reinforced by angled notches, giving the alphabet a technical, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, and the numerals follow the same octagonal logic for a cohesive, signage-like set.
Best suited for headlines and short, high-impact copy where its bold, faceted shapes can read cleanly. It fits well in sports branding, team or event graphics, industrial-themed packaging, wayfinding, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look.
The overall tone feels tough and mechanical, with an athletic, scoreboard energy and a subtle retro-industrial edge. Its angular construction reads as purposeful and no-nonsense, projecting strength and clarity over warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, octagonal construction into an all-purpose display sans, prioritizing durability and instant recognizability. By replacing curves with consistent chamfers, it aims to deliver a distinctive industrial voice while maintaining a straightforward, functional structure.
The consistent chamfering creates a recognizable texture across words, especially in rounded forms like O/C/G/S and in figures such as 0/8/9. Counters stay relatively small, so spacing and size will strongly influence legibility in dense settings.
