A condensed, all-caps–leaning display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. The letterforms are tall and compact with uniform stroke weight and a tight internal economy, yielding small counters in characters like B, P, R, and a squarish, octagonal feel in O and 0. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, and joins stay crisp, giving the overall texture a rigid, engineered rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled geometry, maintaining consistent edge angles and a strong, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where its compact width and sharp facets add punch. It also fits sports branding, packaging callouts, and high-contrast signage where a rigid, industrial look is desirable.
The faceted construction and compressed stance create a tough, no-nonsense tone that reads as industrial and athletic. Its sharp corners and dense black shapes evoke signage, varsity/scoreboard energy, and a retro machined aesthetic, projecting impact and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint by using uniform weight strokes and chamfered geometry. By substituting curves with facets and keeping counters tight, it emphasizes a bold, engineered presence optimized for attention-grabbing display typography.
In running text the narrow proportions and reduced counters can make long passages feel dense, but the distinctive angularity stays highly recognizable at display sizes. The mix of squared curves and clipped diagonals gives the face a consistent, cut-metal character across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
