A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply cut, faceted corners that turn curves into planar breaks and octagonal silhouettes. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals and occasional small internal notches and cut-ins, creating a slightly stencil-like feel without fully breaking the forms. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with wide counters kept small by the weight; rounded letters such as O and C read as chamfered shapes, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are built from broad, straight segments. Figures follow the same geometry, emphasizing flat tops and clipped corners for a uniform, hard-edged texture in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong, high-impact letterforms are desired. It works well for sports identity, product packaging, badges, and logo lockups that benefit from a rugged, engineered look. For longer text, it will be most effective in short bursts—labels, calls to action, and signage—where the dense weight and tight apertures remain clear at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial toughness that also nods to athletic lettering and equipment markings. Its crisp facets and compact massing convey impact and durability, leaning toward a retro, workwear or military-signage attitude rather than a friendly or delicate voice.
The likely intent is a bold, attention-first display face that replaces curves with crisp chamfers to project strength and structure. Its consistent faceting and compact counters suggest it was drawn to feel mechanical and durable while staying legible in large-scale applications.
The design maintains a tight, poster-like rhythm in text: dense black shapes, narrow apertures, and decisive chamfers create strong word silhouettes. Lowercase forms mirror the uppercase’s geometry closely, producing a cohesive, all-caps-like presence even in mixed-case settings.
