This typeface is built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, multi-faceted edges. Forms are compact and vertically emphatic, with a consistent stroke weight and squared-off terminals that create a rigid, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular or octagonal shapes (notably in O/0 and D), and joins are clean and planar, giving letters a machined, stencil-like solidity without actual breaks. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey structure (a, g) and a tall, sturdy stance that aligns closely with the capitals in tone.
Best suited for large-scale applications where its faceted geometry can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding accents, and sports or event graphics. It also fits utilitarian contexts such as signage, labels, wayfinding, and packaging callouts where a hard-edged, industrial voice is desirable.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking equipment labeling, sports numbering, and industrial signage. Its sharp geometry and compressed proportions communicate urgency and strength, with a slightly retro, arcade-scoreboard flavor in the faceted curves.
The design appears intended to translate a chiseled, octagonal construction into an all-purpose sans, delivering a strong, no-nonsense texture with consistent, planar detailing across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The numerals and capitals appear especially strong for display use, with distinctive octagonal bowls and angular diagonals that maintain clarity at larger sizes. Spacing in the sample text reads even and blocky, emphasizing texture and impact over softness.
