A heavy, block-built sans with octagonal, chamfered corners and planar cuts that replace curves. Strokes are largely monolinear and rectangular, with counters formed by narrow vertical slots and squared apertures. The forms lean on straight sides and clipped terminals, creating a rigid, machined rhythm; diagonals are minimized and rendered as faceted cuts (notably in letters like A, N, V, W, and Z). Lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified shapes and a tall x-height, producing compact, tightly packed word silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short impactful statements where the bold, faceted construction can dominate the layout. It also fits sports branding, rugged packaging, and signage-style graphics that benefit from a stamped or industrial feel, especially at large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, athletic numerals, and rugged equipment markings. Its faceted geometry adds a hard-edged, engineered character that reads as tough, no-nonsense, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a simplified, angular construction that feels machined and durable. By substituting curves with clipped corners and maintaining consistent, blocky stroke mass, it aims for high visual authority and a distinctive faceted texture in display typography.
The sharp internal notches and narrow counters can close up quickly at small sizes or in dense settings, so the design is most comfortable when given breathing room. Numerals are equally blocky and signage-like, matching the uppercase’s squared, cut-corner aesthetic.
