This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers that create an octagonal, faceted silhouette throughout. Strokes are largely even in thickness, with squared terminals and consistent corner treatment that gives letters a machined, sign-like rhythm. Proportions are compact and efficient, with relatively tight internal counters and squared bowls; diagonals are clean and steep, keeping shapes sharp and stable. The lowercase follows the same angular construction (notably in a, c, e, g, o), while numerals echo the same cut-corner logic for strong set harmony.
Best suited for display applications where the faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, signage, labels, and bold brand moments. It works well for sports-leaning identities, industrial or technical themes, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, stamped look. For long-form text, it will typically be more effective in short bursts such as subheads, pull quotes, or UI labels at generous sizes.
The overall tone feels rugged and functional, with an athletic/industrial edge that reads as confident and no-nonsense. Its faceted geometry nods to vintage varsity and stencil-adjacent signage aesthetics, while still feeling contemporary and technical due to its systematic corner cuts.
The design intent appears to be a systematic, corner-cut reinterpretation of a condensed sans, prioritizing geometric consistency and a rugged, emblematic voice. By substituting curves with planar facets, it aims to deliver a distinctive silhouette that stays uniform across the character set and performs strongly in bold, high-impact settings.
The consistent chamfer motif creates strong recognizability at larger sizes, and the squared apertures and counters can make dense text feel compact. The face maintains a disciplined, modular feel across caps, lowercase, and figures, with particularly distinctive angular rounds (O, Q, C, G) and a blocky, emblem-friendly presence.
