A compact, faceted sans with straight-sided strokes and frequent chamfered corners that substitute for curves. Counters and outer shapes tend toward octagonal silhouettes, giving round letters like O, C, and G a cut, planar construction. Stroke endings are mostly squared with occasional angled terminals, and the overall rhythm is tight and blocky with sturdy verticals. Uppercase forms read disciplined and sign-like, while the lowercase mirrors the same geometric language with simple, sturdy bowls and a single-storey construction where applicable. Numerals are similarly chiseled, with the 0 showing a distinct internal slash and the set maintaining clear, hard-edged silhouettes.
Best suited to display work where the faceted geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, packaging, logos, and wayfinding or industrial-themed signage. It can also support sports and team identity applications where blocky, angular letterforms are desirable.
The font projects a rugged, utilitarian tone with a hint of vintage display energy. Its sharp facets and compact massing evoke engineered components, scoreboard lettering, and stamped signage, creating an assertive, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a hard-edged, geometric alternative to conventional sans lettering by replacing curves with planar cuts and reinforcing a strong, engineered texture. The consistent chamfering suggests a focus on visual cohesion across letters and numerals for impactful, high-contrast display use.
The mixture of squared geometry and consistent corner chamfers creates strong texture in paragraphs, especially where repeated diagonals appear (e.g., in W, X, Y, and V). The slashed zero and crisp joins help maintain character separation in settings where ambiguity could otherwise occur.
