A dense, blocky display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets and octagonal counters. Stems are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals and frequent chamfers that create a consistent, engineered rhythm across the alphabet. The uppercase reads compact and sturdy with simplified joins and minimal interior detailing, while the lowercase follows the same geometric language with firm, upright structures and short, squared-shoulder forms. Numerals echo the faceted construction, with strong, centered counters and hard-angled diagonals that keep the overall texture dark and tightly packed.
Best suited to large sizes where the faceted details read clearly—headlines, poster typography, sports and team-style branding, and bold packaging. It also works well for short bursts of text in signage or labels where high visual impact is more important than long-form reading comfort.
The faceted construction and heavyweight silhouette give the face an athletic, no-nonsense tone. Its sharp planes and cut-in corners suggest machinery, uniforms, and competitive signage, projecting confidence and impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged, high-impact voice through geometric, cut-corner construction. By substituting curves with planar facets and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for a distinctive, logo-friendly texture that remains stable and legible at display sizes.
The most distinctive feature is the repeated chamfering at corners and inside curves, which produces octagonal bowls in letters like O/Q and in figures such as 0/8/9. Diagonals are sturdy and steep, and the overall letterforms favor broad, simplified shapes that prioritize punchy presence over delicate detail.
