A condensed, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with sharp planar facets. Stems are heavy and uniform, with minimal contrast and crisp terminals; counters are tight and often polygonal, giving round letters like O and G an octagonal feel. The lowercase mirrors the same construction with compact bowls and short extenders, while numerals follow the same squared, notched logic for a consistent, stamped silhouette. Overall spacing and rhythm favor dense, vertical texture and strong edge definition.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding marks where a compact width and high-impact silhouette are desirable. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a rigid, engineered look and clear, repeatable geometry.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with an industrial and athletic edge. Its faceted geometry and condensed stance suggest signage, equipment labeling, and competitive or institutional graphics, reading as confident and commanding rather than friendly or decorative.
The type appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, using faceted construction to evoke machined or cut forms while keeping stroke weight consistent for sturdy legibility in display contexts.
The design’s repeated chamfers and notches create a cohesive motif across the set, helping letters remain distinct at display sizes despite tight counters. The strong vertical emphasis produces a dark, compact text color that benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing in longer settings.
