A compact, block-constructed sans with faceted corners and clipped, polygonal curves that read as octagonal rather than round. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, and the overall texture is dense due to tight internal counters and short apertures. Many terminals finish with squared or chamfered cuts, giving letters a machined, sign-painted feel. Spacing appears steady and pragmatic, supporting strong vertical rhythm in all-caps and a sturdy, workmanlike lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where impact and compactness matter: posters, headlines, sports and athletic branding, packaging fronts, and clear labeling or signage. It can work for short bursts of text and subheads, but the dense counters and tight apertures suggest avoiding very small sizes or long reading passages.
The faceted geometry and solid color create a tough, no-nonsense tone that feels industrial and athletic at once. It suggests institutional labeling and team or equipment marking—confident, direct, and a little retro. The sharp planes add a technical edge that reads as engineered rather than refined.
The design appears intended to translate the look of routed, stamped, or cut lettering into a cohesive typeface, using chamfers and planar facets to replace conventional curves. Its condensed, high-impact build prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and an industrial, equipment-marking aesthetic.
The numerals and capitals lean toward squared, compressed silhouettes with small counters that hold up best at display sizes. The lowercase maintains a consistent, sturdy structure, with compact bowls and simplified joins that keep the overall rhythm tight and uniform.
