A condensed, angular sans with chamfered corners and faceted bowls that replace curves with short, planar segments. Strokes are even and monolinear, with straight-sided counters and octagonal silhouettes visible in rounds like O, Q, and 0. The forms are tall and compact, with crisp terminals, squared shoulders, and a tight, efficient rhythm that reads cleanly at medium and larger sizes. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with a clearly octagonal 0 and sturdy, straight-edged figures.
Works well for display-forward applications such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks where a sharp, technical personality is desired. It also suits signage and labeling systems that benefit from compact width and consistent, high-clarity letterforms.
The overall tone feels engineered and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its hard facets and condensed proportions suggest precision and constraint, evoking technical labeling, equipment markings, and modern display typography.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a practical sans for modern display use—prioritizing crisp edges, consistent stroke weight, and compact proportions while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible.
Distinctive details include the angular notches and clipped corners throughout, plus a single-storey lowercase a and a plain, vertical i/j with square dots. The uppercase set maintains consistent cap height and a strong, uniform presence, while the lowercase keeps the same faceted logic for a cohesive, system-like texture in text.
