A very heavy, geometric sans with squared construction and pronounced chamfered corners that create an octagonal, machined feel. The strokes show deliberate thick–thin contrast, with many glyphs using narrow interior counters and small rectangular cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink traps. Capitals are tall and compact with a uniform, blocky rhythm, while lowercase remains sturdy and simplified, keeping apertures tight and terminals blunt. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with squared bowls and clipped diagonals that preserve a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display settings where strong mass and angular detail can be appreciated, such as posters, headlines, sports branding, badges, and packaging. It can work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to keep the interior openings clear.
The overall tone is assertive and industrial, evoking stamped signage, athletic wordmarks, and retro display typography. Its sharp facets and compact counters add a slightly tactical, utilitarian edge while still feeling stylized and graphic rather than purely functional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, blocky forms, while using chamfers and controlled cutouts to add character and improve separation in heavy strokes. It aims for a rugged, constructed aesthetic that stays legible and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
At text sizes the tight counters and stencil-like notches can visually fill in, so it reads best when given generous size and spacing. The repeated chamfers and rectangular cutouts provide strong consistency across the set and create a distinctive, engineered silhouette.
