A heavy, block-built sans with faceted geometry that replaces curves with crisp chamfers and flattened corners. Strokes are straight and robust with a compact, squared-off construction; bowls and counters tend toward octagonal forms, producing a steady, mechanical rhythm. Uppercase forms read slightly more compressed and monoline in feel, while lowercase is similarly rigid and upright with squared terminals, giving the texture a dense, poster-ready color. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, staying wide and sturdy for strong visibility.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and bold wayfinding or product labeling where the angular silhouette aids quick recognition. It can also work for logos and badges that benefit from a rugged, technical voice.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and tactical signage. Its sharp facets and emphatic mass convey strength and decisiveness, with a no-nonsense, engineered presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, modern display sans with a distinctive cut-corner signature, preserving the clarity of simple block forms while adding a faceted, engineered character for branding and standout typography.
Faceting is applied consistently across the set, creating distinctive interior corners and angular apertures that emphasize a stamped or machined look. The design favors impact over delicacy, and the dark typographic color can dominate at smaller sizes or in long passages.
