A tightly condensed, all-caps-forward sans with hard, faceted geometry replacing most curves. Strokes read largely even in thickness, with corners clipped into planar cuts that create octagonal and chamfered counters in letters like O, C, and G. The proportions are tall and compact with short apertures and a strong vertical rhythm; joins and terminals are squared off and consistently sharp. Lowercase follows the same compressed, architectural construction, with single-storey a and g and sturdy, rectangular details, and the numerals adopt similarly squared, sign-paint-like silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work well for packaging, signage, and sports or industrial-themed branding that benefits from condensed space economy and angular character.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, poster-ready punch. Its chiseled facets and compressed stance suggest industrial labeling and retro display typography, projecting urgency and toughness rather than softness or warmth.
The design appears intended as a condensed display sans that delivers maximum presence in minimal horizontal space. By swapping curves for chamfered planes and keeping strokes firm and consistent, it aims to produce a rugged, engineered voice that holds up in bold titles and prominent labels.
The faceting gives rounded letters a distinctive “cut metal” feel, while the narrow set width allows long lines to stay compact. In text samples, the texture stays uniform and dark, favoring impact over airy readability at small sizes.
