A tightly built display sans with hard, planar facets replacing curves throughout. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform in thickness, with squared terminals, sharp corner cuts, and small internal apertures that create a dense, high-contrast silhouette against the page. Proportions are compact and vertical, with straight-sided bowls and counters that read like milled or stamped shapes rather than drawn curves. The overall rhythm is rigid and modular, giving lines a steady, mechanical texture at larger sizes.
Works best for headlines, posters, logos, and branding that needs a rugged, technical presence. It also fits packaging, esports/sports graphics, and bold editorial callouts where compact width and strong geometry help maximize impact in limited space.
The tone feels utilitarian and forceful—more engineered than expressive—with a retro-industrial edge. Its crisp cornering and compact forms suggest signage, equipment labeling, and other contexts where toughness and control are part of the message.
The design appears intended to translate a machined, faceted aesthetic into a compact display sans: emphatic, space-efficient letterforms with a consistent system of corner cuts to deliver a tough, industrial voice.
The faceting is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel cohesive despite the condensed shapes and tight counters. The dense interiors and strong horizontals make it best suited to short strings where the angular personality can be read clearly.
