A compact, heavy display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing most curves with angled facets. The forms are tall and tightly set with narrow interior counters, giving a dense, vertical rhythm. Terminals are squared and often chamfered, producing a consistent cut-metal silhouette; bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal-like shapes rather than smooth arcs. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic with simplified, sturdy shapes and minimal modulation, maintaining an even, forceful texture across lines.
Best suited for large-scale display settings where its dense weight and angular detailing can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logo marks, and bold identity systems. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, and packaging that benefits from a tough, engineered voice.
The overall tone feels industrial and commanding, with a retro edge reminiscent of stencil-like signage and bold headline lettering. Its faceted geometry reads as engineered and tough, projecting strength and urgency rather than friendliness or delicacy.
The design appears intended to translate a rugged, constructed aesthetic into a compact headline face, using consistent chamfers and planar facets to keep the texture strong and uniform. It prioritizes impact and a distinctive silhouette over open counters and small-size readability.
The all-caps set is especially dominant, with strong rectangular proportions and tight apertures that can close up at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same faceted construction, with compact shapes and sharp notches that help maintain the mechanical, cut-corner theme.
