A condensed, monolinear sans with aggressively chamfered corners and octagonal constructions throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals, tight apertures, and compact counters that give letters a stenciled, cut-metal feel even where forms remain continuous. The proportions are tall and compact, with straight-sided curves on letters like C/O/Q and angular joins on S and G; numerals follow the same clipped geometry for a consistent, rigid rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where impact and compactness matter—posters, event graphics, sports branding, and packaging. It also works well for signage-style applications where a rugged, industrial voice is desirable and the letterforms can be set at generous sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and sports identity systems. Its hard angles and compressed spacing project authority and urgency, reading as functional rather than friendly or literary.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, space-efficient display voice built from a consistent system of clipped corners and straightened curves. The goal seems to be a rugged, industrial look that maintains strong legibility at larger sizes while creating a distinctive, uniform texture across all characters.
The design leans on repeated chamfer motifs at corners and inner cut-ins, creating a cohesive visual language across caps, lowercase, and figures. In longer lines the dense texture becomes a strong graphic block, so it favors display use over comfortable continuous reading.
