A condensed, heavy sans with sharply faceted corners and clipped terminals that substitute planar cuts for curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing a solid, high-impact texture with minimal interior space. The outlines lean on verticals and straight segments, with octagonal rounding on bowls and counters that keeps letters rigid and geometric. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with compact apertures and a consistent, modular rhythm across the set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, forceful word shape is needed. It also works well for sports identities, event graphics, labels, and punchy signage—especially at medium to large sizes where the faceting reads as a deliberate design feature.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, no-nonsense presence reminiscent of stenciled signage and athletic titling. Its hard edges and compact build project urgency and strength, reading as modern-industrial with a subtle retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space while keeping forms crisp and mechanical through faceted construction. Its consistent clipped-corner geometry suggests a goal of creating a rugged, display-forward sans that feels engineered rather than calligraphic.
The face maintains strong silhouette consistency: capitals are tall and commanding, while rounded characters (C, G, O, Q, 0) resolve into faceted bowls rather than smooth arcs. Numerals follow the same clipped-corner logic, supporting cohesive headline and numbering systems where legibility comes from bold mass and distinctive shapes.
