A compact, heavy sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp facets. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a solid, monoline rhythm and a tight overall color. Counters and bowls tend toward squared or octagonal shapes, with diagonal cuts appearing at terminals and inside corners for a machined, geometric feel. Spacing reads on the tight side, and the forms maintain strong presence in both caps and lowercase with clean, straightforward construction.
Best suited to display settings where its angular texture can read clearly and add character—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It also fits sports and event graphics, team identifiers, labels, and short UI or signage phrases where a tough, technical voice is desired.
The faceted geometry and dense weight give the face an assertive, engineered tone—like cut metal, scoreboard lettering, or retro arcade graphics. It feels energetic and no-nonsense, leaning toward performance and utility rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, faceted construction into a compact, high-impact sans that stays legible while projecting a rugged, industrial personality. Its consistent stroke weight and repeated chamfer motif suggest a focus on strong silhouettes and reproducible shapes across letters and numerals.
Distinctive chamfers show up repeatedly at joins and terminals, helping keep corners open at display sizes while reinforcing the angular theme. The numerals and capitals carry especially strong signage-like clarity, with simplified, blocky silhouettes that favor impact over softness.
