A condensed, heavy sans with rigid vertical stress and planar, chamfered shaping that replaces most curves with clipped corners. Strokes are monolinear and compact, producing dense counters and a tight rhythm in words. Terminals and joins are consistently squared-off and beveled, giving rounded letters like O/C/Q a faceted, octagonal silhouette. The overall construction feels engineered and uniform, with sturdy proportions and minimal modulation across the alphabet and numerals.
Best used at display sizes where its dense weight and faceted corners can read clearly—headlines, posters, team or event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for short labels and UI badges where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial and slightly retro athletic flavor. Its sharp facets and compressed stance read as energetic and no-nonsense, suited to messaging that needs to feel tough, direct, and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal space, pairing a condensed build with machined, beveled forms for a rugged, technical look. The consistent clipping and squared geometry suggest a focus on reproducible, stencil-like solidity rather than softness or typographic delicacy.
In continuous text the narrow set and heavy color create strong vertical striping, while the clipped corners add texture without introducing true curvature. Numerals and capitals carry a signage-like solidity that remains consistent across the set.
