A heavy, condensed display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Letterforms favor squared bowls, notched joins, and chamfered terminals that create an octagonal rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are compact and geometric, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal contrast; apertures tend to be tight, emphasizing a dense, poster-ready silhouette. Numerals follow the same hard-edged construction, with squared interiors and sturdy, sign-like proportions.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding that benefits from a rugged, geometric voice. It can also work well for labels, merch, and sports or esports-style graphics where a compact, hard-edged texture improves visibility and attitude.
The overall tone feels tough and engineered—evoking industrial labeling, athletic uniforms, and utilitarian stenciled graphics without actually cutting breaks into strokes. Its sharp geometry reads assertive and functional, with a slightly retro, arcade/scoreboard energy when set in all caps.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through condensed proportions and a consistent chamfered geometry, translating a mechanical, faceted construction into a readable sans for bold display typography.
The faceting is especially apparent in normally curved letters (C, G, O, S), where corners and short diagonals stand in for arcs. Lowercase forms largely echo the uppercase structure, keeping the same rigid geometry and compact spacing, which helps maintain a consistent texture at display sizes.
