A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and prominent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, machined silhouette. Counters are compact and often rectilinear, with occasional slit-like apertures (notably in forms like B/8) that read as cutouts. Strokes maintain a consistent mass with minimal modulation, and terminals are flat, favoring hard joins and clipped diagonals over curves. Spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a rugged, poster-oriented rhythm that stays visually cohesive through repeated corner treatments and broad, flat surfaces.
Best suited for large-scale display work where its angular cut corners and dense letterforms can read clearly: headlines, posters, team or event branding, bold packaging callouts, and short logo wordmarks. It can also work for signage-style treatments or UI title cards where a tough, mechanical feel is desired, but it is less appropriate for extended body text.
The overall tone feels forceful and utilitarian—more like signage cut from metal plate than pen-drawn type. Its sharp bevels and dense color give it a confident, no-nonsense voice associated with industrial branding, sports labeling, and arcade or action-oriented display aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a consistent, engineered geometry—using chamfered corners and compact counters to suggest durability and precision. It prioritizes immediate recognizability and a strong silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified, simplified construction, with the lowercase leaning toward compact, squared forms that echo the caps. Numerals are similarly octagonal and stout, designed for strong impact rather than delicate differentiation at small sizes.
