A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp, planar facets. The forms are tightly proportioned with a tall, condensed stance and a steady, uniform stroke weight. Counters tend toward squared and octagonal shapes, with deliberate ink traps and clipped terminals that create a mechanical, cut-metal feel. Numerals and capitals read especially solid and modular, with consistent corner treatment and a rhythmic, grid-like texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and branding where the angular silhouette can do the heavy lifting. It also fits sports, gaming, and industrial-themed graphics, as well as packaging or labels that benefit from dense, space-saving letterforms. For long passages, the dark color and sharp facets suggest using it selectively for emphasis rather than extended reading.
The faceted geometry and dense weight convey an industrial, engineered tone with a sporty edge. It feels punchy and utilitarian—more like stenciled hardware, arcade-era graphics, or scoreboard lettering than conversational text. The overall impression is confident, loud, and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to translate a condensed, heavy sans into a faceted, hard-edged system that stays highly legible while projecting strength and precision. By standardizing chamfers and minimizing curves, it creates a distinctive modular look that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The sharp cornering and narrow set produce strong vertical momentum and compact word shapes, while the squared counters keep the texture dark and continuous. Diacritics and punctuation are not shown in the provided images, but the displayed alphabet and figures emphasize a distinctly angular construction throughout.
