A condensed, monolinear sans with faceted, octagonal joins that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Stems are straight and dark, terminals are blunt, and counters tend to be compact with squared-off interior corners. The overall build is tall and tightly set, with a consistent vertical rhythm and narrow sidebearings that emphasize a strong, poster-like columnar texture. Lowercase forms mirror the same angular logic, with simplified bowls and a single-storey construction where applicable, while numerals follow the same clipped-corner geometry for a uniform color on the line.
This face suits high-impact headlines, posters, and signage where space is tight but presence is needed. Its angular construction also fits athletic branding, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a sturdy, engineered aesthetic and strong typographic texture.
The sharp chamfers and tightly compressed proportions create a rugged, industrial tone with a sporty, team-number energy. It feels functional and no-nonsense, projecting strength and efficiency rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-visibility sans that reads as engineered and modern, using systematic chamfers to unify the character set and add a distinctive, rugged edge.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C, G, O, Q and the digits), giving them a mechanical, machined look. The distinctive clipped corners also help separate similarly shaped characters in display settings, while the narrow forms naturally produce a dense, attention-grabbing word shape.
