A heavy, angular display face built from squarish, octagonal forms with flat terminals and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes are robust with visible thick–thin shifts expressed as sharp cut-ins and tapered joins, creating a carved, faceted look rather than smooth modulation. Counters tend to be tight and vertical, and the overall rhythm is compact and upright with strong, rectangular silhouettes across capitals and numerals.
Best suited to large sizes where its angular detailing and tight counters can remain clear: posters, headlines, packaging titles, team or event branding, and bold signage. It can also work for short callouts or labels, but extended reading at smaller sizes may feel dense due to the heavy massing and narrow internal spaces.
The tone is forceful and graphic, evoking signage, workwear, and competitive branding. Its hard edges and faceted construction feel assertive and slightly vintage, with a rugged, no-nonsense presence that reads as bold and commanding.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through compressed, faceted letterforms that resemble cut metal or carved wood. The consistent chamfers and sharp modulation cues suggest an intention to create a sturdy, heritage-leaning display voice that stands out in branding and title settings.
Distinctive notches and wedge-like inktrap shapes appear at joins and inside bowls, adding texture and a pseudo-stenciled character without breaking strokes completely. The numerals follow the same clipped geometry, keeping a consistent, badge-like impression in mixed text.
