A compact, heavy sans built from straight strokes and planar cuts, replacing curves with sharp chamfers and clipped corners. Forms feel tall and tightly set, with squared counters and simplified joins that keep the rhythm rigid and uniform. The caps are broad-shouldered and architectural, while the lowercase echoes the same faceted geometry with sturdy bowls and short, squared terminals. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, producing a consistent, sign-like texture across mixed content.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It also fits sports and team-inspired graphics, product packaging, labels, and short UI or signage callouts where angular, mechanical energy is desirable.
The faceted construction and dense color give the font an athletic, industrial tone—confident, tough, and slightly retro. Its sharp corners and compressed presence suggest urgency and impact rather than softness or nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space by using heavy, straight strokes and chamfered corners for a tough, faceted voice. The consistent cut-corner system unifies caps, lowercase, and numerals to create a cohesive, industrial display style.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, X, Y) are rendered as strong wedges, emphasizing a rugged, engineered feel. Counters are relatively small and rectangular, and the overall silhouette reads best when allowed some breathing room in tracking and leading.
