A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, octagonal curves. Strokes are consistently heavy with a largely uniform thickness, producing compact counters and a strong, even color in text. Bowls and rounds (C, O, G, 0) are built from straight segments rather than true curves, while terminals are mostly flat or clipped, reinforcing a machined, geometric rhythm. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate, and the overall footprint is compact and efficient for headings and short lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding that benefit from a compact, high-contrast silhouette. It also fits signage and wayfinding, sports-themed graphics, and labels where an engineered, rugged tone is desirable, especially at display sizes where the faceted details remain crisp.
The letterforms read as tough and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial edge. The faceting and clipped corners evoke stenciled hardware, scoreboards, or equipment labeling, giving the font a confident, high-impact presence without feeling decorative.
The design intention appears to be a space-efficient display sans that replaces curves with planar facets to create a robust, mechanical voice. By combining condensed proportions with heavy, uniform strokes and clipped corners, it aims for instant legibility and a strong stamped/industrial character in titles and short text.
Distinctive chamfers appear consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping maintain cohesion at larger sizes. The lowercase keeps the same angular construction as the caps, with simplified shapes and minimal modulation, prioritizing clarity and punch over softness.
