A condensed, heavy-weight display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Vertical stems dominate, counters are compact, and many terminals end in squared or chamfered cuts that create an octagonal, machine-cut silhouette. The lowercase keeps the same rigid construction as the uppercase, with single-storey forms and tight apertures that maintain a consistent, blocky rhythm across text. Figures follow the same faceted geometry, reading like cut-metal numerals with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where its faceted geometry can read clearly at larger sizes. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, packaging titles, and bold signage that benefits from a compact, vertical footprint.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, with a sporty, scoreboard-like punch. Its angular construction and tight spacing feel engineered and utilitarian, lending an authoritative, poster-ready presence with a hint of retro signage.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width by using simple, uniform strokes and consistent corner-cut facets. Its geometry suggests a goal of evoking stamped or fabricated lettering while staying clean and legible in display settings.
The typeface relies on repeated chamfer angles to unify the set, giving round letters like C, G, O, and Q a polygonal feel. Interior shapes stay narrow and tall, which increases density and impact but can make small sizes feel tight and dark.
