A condensed, heavy sans with sharp planar facets replacing curves throughout. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with squared terminals and chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette in bowls and rounds (notably in O, C, G, and 0). Counters are compact and geometric, apertures are tight, and the overall rhythm is upright and punchy with minimal contrast. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with sturdy stems, short joins, and simplified, block-like forms that keep texture dense in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where density and impact matter. The condensed proportions and hard-edged geometry work well for signage, packaging, and sporty or industrial brand systems, and the sturdy numerals make it a good candidate for labels, scores, and bold information design.
The face projects a rugged, engineered tone—confident and no-nonsense—while the faceting adds a contemporary, slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of stencil-cut signage and athletic branding. Its compact width and hard corners read as energetic and impactful rather than delicate or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact footprint, using faceted geometry to evoke cut metal, machined parts, or block-letter signage. It prioritizes bold legibility and a distinctive, angular texture that stands out in branding and display contexts.
Numerals match the angular construction and feel designed for strong recognition at size, with the 0 rendered as a faceted ring and the 8 built from stacked, tight counters. The overall design favors clarity and punch over softness, making the word shapes feel intentionally squared-off and mechanical.
