A heavy, block-built display sans with octagonal geometry and pronounced chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear in feel, with subtle internal cuts and notch-like joins that introduce a mild, engineered contrast. Counters tend to be narrow and rectangular, and the lowercase is squat with a tall x-height and minimal differentiation from the capitals. Terminals are flat and abrupt, creating a dense texture and a strong, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for large-scale display work where its faceted corners and dense weight can carry impact—headlines, posters, sports identifiers, merchandise graphics, packaging fronts, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when ample size and spacing are available to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking athletic numbering, industrial labeling, and bold retro signage. Its clipped corners and compact counters give it a mechanical, no-nonsense voice that reads as assertive and commanding.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, fabricated look, using chamfered geometry and compact counters to suggest durability and machinery while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly graphic.
The design favors hard angles over curves, with rounded letters rendered as faceted forms; this keeps rhythm consistent and reinforces a stamped or cut-metal impression. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and heavy mass can darken quickly, while at larger sizes the chamfers and interior notches become a distinctive stylistic signature.
