A condensed, heavy-weight sans with sharp, planar facets that replace most curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight internal counters and a compact rhythm that reads strongly in vertical stems and squared-off terminals. Rounded letters like C, G, O, and Q appear chamfered and polygonal rather than smooth, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and steep. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders, and sturdy, rectangular punctuation-like details such as the i/j dots.
Best suited for headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding where a compact width and high impact are needed. It can work well on packaging, labels, and sports or industrial-themed graphics, especially when set with generous tracking or ample surrounding whitespace to keep the dense forms from closing in at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a hard-edged, engineered feel. Its condensed massing and faceted shaping suggest impact, speed, and toughness, leaning toward sporty and industrial sign aesthetics rather than friendly everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual force in a condensed footprint, using faceted construction to create a distinctive, machined silhouette. The consistent chamfering and blocky proportions aim for a rugged display voice that remains systematic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Counters are notably narrow in letters like B, P, R, and 8, which boosts punch at display sizes but increases darkness in dense lines. Numerals are tall and compact with strong vertical emphasis, matching the uppercase’s poster-like presence. The sample text shows consistent texture across mixed case, with a slightly rugged, machined personality created by the repeated chamfers.
