A heavy, block-constructed sans with chamfered corners that turn round strokes into crisp planar facets. Stems and horizontals are thick and consistent, with squared counters and a generally compact footprint that keeps letters dense and stable. The forms favor straight segments and clipped terminals, producing octagonal silhouettes in rounded characters and a sturdy, sign-like rhythm in text. Lowercase follows the same structural logic with simplified bowls and tight apertures, maintaining an even, mechanical texture across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, sports graphics, and apparel lettering. It also works well for labels and signage where a tough, industrial voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes where the faceted detailing stays clear.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a rugged, utilitarian confidence. Its angular faceting suggests engineered surfaces and cut metal, lending a sporty, competitive energy that also reads as retro display.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a geometric, cut-corner construction that replaces curves with facets. It aims for a robust display presence and a distinctive, engineered personality while staying straightforward and highly legible in all-caps settings.
The faceting is applied consistently across the alphabet and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, modular feel. In running text the dense weight and compact interiors create strong color and high impact, while the sharp corners keep the texture lively rather than purely monolithic.
