A condensed, vertically oriented display sans with strong, straight stems and tight sidebearings. Curves are largely replaced by faceted, octagonal forms, with small chamfered corners and angular terminals that create a cut-metal silhouette. Stroke joins are crisp and geometric, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is compact and emphatically vertical. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, simplified construction that mirrors the uppercase, and numerals follow the same faceted, blocky logic for a consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, packaging marks, and signage where compact width and strong presence are desirable. It can also work for logo wordmarks and team/athletic branding, especially when a hard-edged, industrial aesthetic is intended.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage and classic poster lettering. Its sharp facets and compressed proportions give it a tough, no-nonsense character with a slightly vintage, sports-and-placard feel.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, geometric voice. Its faceted construction suggests an intention to reference engraved, stenciled, or sign-painted traditions through a clean, modernized display sans form.
The design’s distinctive identity comes from its repeated corner cuts and straightened bowls, producing a uniform, machined look across letters and figures. In text settings it creates dense, dark lines and a strong headline color, with particularly prominent verticals and squared-off apertures.
