A condensed, heavy display sans built from straight strokes with clipped, chamfered corners that turn curves into faceted, octagonal shapes. Stems are thick and largely uniform in weight, with sharp joins and squared terminals that keep counters tight and angular. The overall rhythm is vertical and compact, with short crossbars and pragmatic proportions that read clearly at larger sizes while maintaining a rigid, engineered texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, logos, and branding that benefit from a compact, high-impact word shape. It works well for sports or team graphics, product labels, wayfinding, and UI/overlay titling where an engineered, angular voice is desired, and where sizes are large enough to preserve the tight counters and corner detail.
The faceted geometry and hard corners give the font an industrial, no-nonsense tone reminiscent of stenciled labeling, athletic jerseys, and utilitarian signage. Its compact width and strong contrast against the page make it feel assertive and controlled, with a slightly retro technical flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a utilitarian, mechanical aesthetic into a clean sans framework by replacing curves with planar facets and emphasizing vertical compactness. It prioritizes punchy presence and a distinctive polygonal silhouette for short text and display settings.
Round letters such as O/C/G and numerals like 0/8 are constructed from straight segments, producing distinctive polygonal counters. The lowercase follows the same architectural logic, with single-storey forms and squared details that keep the texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
