A heavy, geometric sans built from straight segments and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, uniform color in text. Proportions are compact with squared counters and strong horizontal/vertical structure; diagonals appear mostly in the corner cuts and in letters like A, V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with sturdy stems and simplified terminals, and the numerals echo the same angular, cut-corner logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where the faceted silhouettes can carry the design. It also fits sports branding, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from a sturdy, industrial voice. For body copy, it will work more comfortably at larger sizes and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a sporty, engineered feel reminiscent of signage, equipment markings, and contemporary tech branding. Its sharp facets and compact rhythm read as assertive and functional rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to translate a hard-edged, machined aesthetic into a practical sans with a consistent, repeatable corner-cut motif. It prioritizes impact and recognizable angular forms over softness or calligraphic nuance, aiming for a contemporary, engineered look across letters and figures.
At display sizes the chamfered geometry becomes a defining texture, creating a consistent pattern of clipped corners across rounds and joints. In paragraphs the strong weight and tight interior counters can make the texture feel dense, favoring shorter bursts of text over long-form reading.
