A heavy, angular sans with pronounced chamfered corners and planar cut-ins that replace curves with crisp facets. Strokes stay consistently thick, producing compact counters and strong negative shapes, while the overall construction favors straight segments and clipped terminals. Letterforms are built on sturdy geometric proportions with squared shoulders and frequent diagonal notches, creating a rhythmic, engineered texture in words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouettes and high impact are desired—headlines, posters, sports and team branding, gaming/UI titling, and packaging fronts. It also works well for short technical labels or signage-style text where the angular construction reinforces an industrial tone.
The faceted geometry and dense weight give the type a tough, workmanlike voice that reads as energetic and no-nonsense. Its sharp cuts and blocky presence evoke equipment markings and competitive display typography, leaning bold and confident rather than delicate or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch through a disciplined system of chamfers and facets, translating a geometric sans into a rugged, machined look. The consistent corner logic suggests a focus on cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for bold branding and titling applications.
Numerals follow the same chamfered logic, with octagonal-like bowls in figures such as 0 and 8 and sharply cut joins throughout. The alphabet maintains a consistent system of corner treatments, helping large headlines feel cohesive while smaller sizes may appear tight due to compact apertures and counters.
