A heavy, geometric display serif with strong chamfered corners and octagonal curves that give rounds like O, C, and G a faceted, cut-metal feel. Strokes are predominantly even in thickness with crisp terminals and small wedge-like serif suggestions that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. The design favors broad, squared proportions and compact counters, producing a dense, high-contrast silhouette against the page without relying on thin hairlines. Lowercase forms echo the same angular construction, with squared bowls and short, sturdy arms, maintaining a consistent, modular rhythm across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or athletic branding, and bold signage where the angular silhouettes remain clear at a distance. It can also work for packaging or labels that want an industrial or retro-machined flavor, especially in all caps or tight wordmarks.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking sports lettering, equipment markings, and industrial signage. Its faceted geometry adds a retro-machined character that feels disciplined and commanding rather than friendly or conversational.
This font appears designed to translate a carved, fabricated, or stamped aesthetic into a consistent typographic system, prioritizing sturdy shapes, high legibility at display sizes, and a distinctive faceted outline that reads as purposeful and engineered.
The numerals and caps share the same clipped-corner logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look uniform and emblematic. The texture in paragraph samples is dark and block-forward, making the face most at home when it can lean on its silhouette and spacing rather than fine internal detail.
