A compact, heavy sans with straight-sided strokes and aggressively chamfered corners that replace curves with flat facets. Counters are generally small and geometric, with octagonal ‘O’/‘Q’ shapes and squared-off interior forms in letters like A, P, and R. The rhythm is tight and blocky, with uniform stroke weight and crisp terminals; diagonals are simplified into stepped facets rather than smooth joins, producing a hard-edged, engineered texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, wordmarks, packaging, and apparel graphics where the angular facets can be appreciated. It also works well for labels, wayfinding-style titles, or UI headers that need a compact, hard-edged presence.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, sports uniforms, and utilitarian signage. Its faceted geometry reads as purposeful and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, arcade-or-patch-like energy when set large.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a tightly engineered, faceted construction—trading curves for planar cuts to create a rugged, geometric voice that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
At text sizes the dense weight and compact apertures create a strong, dark color; spacing and simplified joins help maintain clarity despite the minimal counters. The numerals follow the same chamfered logic, keeping a consistent, badge-like feel across alphanumerics.
