A compact, heavy sans with a consistent stroke and pronounced chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Letterforms are built from straight verticals and horizontals with clipped diagonals, creating octagonal counters in rounded shapes like O and 0. Proportions are condensed with tall capitals and tight internal spaces, and the lowercase keeps a straightforward, mechanical construction with minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, producing a sturdy, sign-like rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, labels, and wayfinding where the bold, faceted construction can carry at a glance. It can also work for logos and product packaging that want a rugged, technical voice, especially when set with generous tracking or ample surrounding whitespace.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling and athletic or team-style lettering. Its sharp facets and dense silhouette give it a confident, engineered feel that reads as modern-retro and purpose-built rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, cut-corner look that stays legible and consistent across letters and numbers, prioritizing strong geometry and a compact footprint. The repeated chamfers suggest an aim to mimic engineered forms—like stamped, machined, or stenciled-inspired lettering—while remaining a clean sans for contemporary display use.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, including terminals and joins, which reinforces a cohesive, cut-metal aesthetic. The condensed width and strong color make it visually commanding, while the reduced counters suggest it will feel most comfortable at larger sizes where detail and spacing can breathe.
