A condensed, heavy all-caps–friendly sans with sharply clipped corners and planar facets that replace most curves. Strokes are monolinear and rectangular, with chamfered terminals and occasional small notches that give counters a cut-metal feel. The uppercase set is tall and rigid, with squared bowls (B, D, P, R) and angular joins; the lowercase echoes the same geometry with compact, upright forms and minimal roundness. Numerals are similarly straight-sided and carved, emphasizing verticality and uniform stroke weight for strong, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to display typography where impact matters: headlines, posters, sports/fitness branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It works particularly well in short phrases and stacked compositions where its compressed width and angular detailing can define the texture of a layout.
The overall tone is stern and engineered, evoking machine-cut lettering, athletic wordmarks, and utilitarian signage. Its sharp facets and compressed rhythm feel assertive and slightly retro, suggesting strength, speed, and a hard-edged modernism.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive faceted motif. Its chamfered construction suggests an intention to mimic cut or stamped letterforms, balancing clarity with a distinctive, industrial edge.
The design relies on consistent chamfers across corners and apertures, creating a rhythmic pattern of angled cuts that reads clearly at display sizes. Counters are tight and rectangular, which reinforces density and punch in headlines and short lines.
