A compact, hard-edged sans with faceted construction: curves are consistently replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal bowls and sharp internal angles. Strokes stay even and monolinear, with squared terminals and a mostly vertical, upright stance. Proportions are tight and economical, with condensed caps, compact counters, and a clean, grid-like rhythm across letters and numerals that keeps forms crisp at display sizes.
Works best in headlines, posters, and packaging where its faceted geometry can read as a stylistic feature. It also fits signage, tech/industrial branding, and sports or team-style applications that benefit from condensed, high-impact letterforms. For longer text, it’s better used in short bursts such as labels, UI headings, or callouts.
The overall tone feels mechanical and engineered, combining a retro signage flavor with a contemporary, no-nonsense precision. Its sharp facets and tight spacing give it an assertive, utilitarian voice suited to technical or industrial themes.
The design appears intended to deliver a crisp, angular alternative to a conventional condensed sans, emphasizing planar facets and clipped corners to create a strong geometric identity. It prioritizes a consistent, engineered rhythm across the full alphanumeric set for bold, structured display typography.
Distinctive chamfering is applied broadly—visible in rounded letters and numerals alike—creating consistent polygonal silhouettes. The lowercase remains straightforward and legible, while the capitals and figures lean more display-oriented due to their rigid geometry and reduced curvature.
