A heavy, angular display face built from straight strokes and sharp planar cuts, replacing curves with faceted corners and clipped terminals. Counters are mostly rectangular and tightly enclosed, creating a dense texture with strong figure/ground contrast. Proportions read broad and sturdy, with a tall x-height in the lowercase; joins are squared and the rhythm is emphatically geometric rather than calligraphic. The overall spacing appears compact, and the silhouette stays consistent through repeated chamfered edges that give letters a chiseled, machine-made look.
Best used at display sizes where the faceted cuts and tight internal spaces can be clearly read. It works well for bold headlines, event or venue posters, brand marks, and packaging or labels that benefit from an industrial, retro feel. Short phrases and stacked titles are particularly effective due to the dense, uniform typographic color.
The tone is forceful and industrial, with a retro, sports-and-stencil-adjacent presence that feels loud and uncompromising. Its hard facets and tight counters add a sense of toughness and urgency, making it suited to messages meant to project strength and impact.
The design intent appears focused on delivering maximum impact through blocky geometry and consistent faceting, evoking carved or stamped lettering while remaining cleanly sans in construction. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and a strong texture over subtlety, aiming for assertive display performance.
Lowercase forms largely mirror the uppercase’s block construction, so mixed-case text maintains a uniform, poster-like color. Diacritics and punctuation shown keep the same squared, cut-corner logic, and the numerals match the font’s compact, angular structure.
