A heavy, compressed sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly thick with tight interior counters, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color. Terminals are square and clipped, and bowls and diagonals are simplified into straight segments, producing a rugged, geometric rhythm. Numerals follow the same carved, octagonal logic, with compact forms that hold their shape at display sizes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and branding where impact and compact width are useful. It also works well for athletic identities, merchandise marks, and industrial or wayfinding-style signage, especially in short phrases and large-scale applications.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its clipped geometry reads as confident and forceful, evoking signage, team branding, and equipment labeling rather than delicate editorial typography.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint by pairing heavy strokes with faceted corner cuts. The consistent chamfer language suggests an intention to create a rugged, machined look that stays legible and cohesive across letters and numbers in display settings.
The design leans on repeated corner cuts and straightened curves for cohesion, creating consistent texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Spacing appears tight and the heavy joins can close up small apertures, so it visually performs best when given enough size and breathing room.
