A condensed, heavy display sans with chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal shaping that replaces most curves with straight planes. Strokes remain consistently thick, producing a dense, high-contrast silhouette against the counterforms, while terminals are squared and clipped rather than rounded. The overall rhythm is tight and upright, with compact bowls and notches that create a rugged, engineered texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, reading like stenciled blocks without literal stencil breaks.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where impact and compact width are priorities. It also fits sports identities, gaming or tech-themed graphics, packaging, labels, and bold UI accents where an industrial, hard-edged voice is desired.
The face conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone—mechanical and utilitarian—while also feeling sporty and competitive due to its compact, uniform heft. Its sharp facets suggest durability and precision, lending a tactical, equipment-label attitude that reads confidently at a distance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, using consistent chamfers and planar facets to create a rugged, manufactured look that stays cohesive across letters and numbers.
Lowercase forms keep the same angular logic as the caps, with simplified construction that favors strong silhouettes over calligraphic nuance. The faceting is consistent across the set, giving text a distinct “cut metal” texture that becomes more pronounced as size increases, while smaller sizes may look darker due to the tight apertures.
