A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans with sharply faceted construction and consistent chamfered corners that substitute for curves. Strokes are monoline and tightly squared, with rectangular counters and a compact, modular feel across the set. The uppercase reads tall and sturdy with broad shoulders and flat terminals; lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified bowls and notches. Figures are similarly block-built, maintaining strong silhouette clarity and uniform rhythm at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and identity work where strong shapes and angular texture can carry the design. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, product packaging, and bold UI labels where impact and quick recognition matter more than extended reading comfort.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its hard angles and cut corners evoke stenciled hardware, team uniforms, and industrial labeling, giving it a retro-technical edge without feeling decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum punch with a consistent faceted theme, turning rounded forms into planar cuts for a rugged, engineered look. The aim is clear: a bold display voice that stays highly recognizable through uniform geometry and emphatic, block-like silhouettes.
The faceting is applied systematically to corners and joins, creating a distinctive octagonal texture in text blocks. The design favors bold silhouettes and clear outer shapes over delicate interior detail, so small sizes may feel dense while larger sizes emphasize its graphic geometry.
