This typeface is built from sturdy, straight strokes with consistently chamfered corners that replace curves with small planar facets. Forms are compact and vertically oriented, with squared counters and notched joins that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are flat and abrupt, and the overall texture reads dense and uniform, producing strong silhouettes at display sizes while maintaining clear internal spacing in most letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong, compact letterforms need to hold attention. It also works well for sports identities, apparel graphics, packaging, and labels that benefit from an industrial, fabricated look. In longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes where the faceted details remain clearly resolved.
The faceted construction and hard corners give the font a tough, utilitarian attitude with a sporty edge. Its geometry evokes stenciled or fabricated lettering and carries a disciplined, no-nonsense tone that feels at home in performance, equipment, and tactical-inspired visuals.
The design appears intended to translate a hard-edged, manufactured aesthetic into a clean sans framework, trading curves for chamfered facets to create impact and consistency. It prioritizes bold sign-like presence and a tight, efficient footprint for prominent display typography.
Uppercase shapes stay rigid and modular, while the lowercase follows the same angular logic, keeping a cohesive voice across cases. Numerals are equally squared and monoline-like, with distinctive, clipped corners that help maintain consistency in mixed text and headings.
