A condensed, heavy sans with sharply faceted construction that replaces curves with straight segments and chamfered corners. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with tight apertures and compact counters that emphasize a dense, vertical rhythm. The forms lean on octagonal geometry—noticeable in rounded characters like O/C/G as well as in the clipped terminals across the set—creating a crisp, engineered silhouette. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall texture is dark and even, with consistent stem weight and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and title treatments where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports branding, labels, and wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from hard-edged geometry and an engineered, stencil-adjacent feel. Use at medium to large sizes to let the faceting read clearly.
The faceted geometry and compressed proportions convey an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a hint of athletic and signage heritage. It feels forceful and practical rather than friendly, projecting clarity, toughness, and a retro-mechanical edge.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, constructed look. The systematic chamfers and straight segments suggest an intention to evoke machined or cut-letter aesthetics with dependable, sign-ready clarity.
The design’s straight-sided bowls and clipped joins help maintain legibility in large, punchy settings, while the narrow proportions create strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals read particularly poster-like due to their compact width and squared-off detailing.
