A hard-edged, faceted sans with squared-off geometry and clipped corners that replace curves with planar angles. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, producing a compact, vertical texture with tight internal counters and straight-sided bowls. Terminals are blunt and mechanical, with consistent chamfers across letters and numerals that create an octagonal rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a high x-height and simplified construction, staying close in proportion and stiffness to the uppercase for a cohesive, sign-like voice.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where a strong, condensed block of text is desired. It works well for sports identities, team graphics, industrial-themed packaging, and bold UI or in-game overlays that benefit from punchy, angular letterforms.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, sports branding, and engineered objects. Its angular cuts and dense color feel assertive and functional, with a retro display energy that reads as rugged rather than refined.
Likely designed to translate the look of chiseled or cut metal into a clean typographic system, offering a geometric, impact-driven alternative to rounded grotesks. The consistent chamfering suggests an intention to feel manufactured and durable while remaining straightforward to set in both caps and mixed case.
The faceting is applied systematically, so even traditionally rounded characters (like C, G, O, S, and 0) read as polygonal forms. The heavy weight and compact apertures make it most effective where strong silhouette and impact are prioritized over delicate detail.
