A heavy, compact display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters tend toward squarish apertures and the round letters resolve into octagonal silhouettes, creating a consistent chiseled geometry across the set. Stems are thick and uniform, terminals are flat, and joins are tight, producing dense color and strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase follows the same squared construction with simple, sturdy forms and short ascenders/descenders, keeping the overall texture compact in running lines.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display settings where its dense weight and faceted shapes can carry impact—posters, sports and team branding, product packaging, badges, and bold labels. It can work for large, high-contrast typographic statements, but the tight counters and heavy texture make it less ideal for long text at small sizes.
The faceted construction and blunt massing give the font an assertive, no-nonsense tone with a rugged, industrial edge. Its angular silhouettes evoke athletic and utilitarian lettering, reading as bold, energetic, and slightly retro in spirit.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact width, using chamfered corners to suggest strength and precision while keeping letterforms highly uniform. The goal seems to be a practical, high-impact display style that feels engineered and modern without relying on curves or ornament.
The sharp corner cuts create distinctive internal notches in several glyphs, helping separate letters at display sizes while maintaining a cohesive, machined look. Numerals match the same blocky, clipped geometry for consistent signage-like impact.
