A tightly condensed, right-leaning sans with an all-caps-friendly stance and crisp, planar cuts that replace most curves. Strokes maintain an even, solid weight with minimal modulation, while corners are clipped into straight facets to form octagonal bowls and squared terminals. Counters are compact and apertures tend toward narrow openings, creating a dense, vertical rhythm that stays legible through strong internal spacing. Numerals echo the same faceted construction, with squared-off shoulders and clipped diagonals that reinforce a technical, signlike texture.
Best suited to display settings where compression and impact are desirable—posters, headlines, sports branding, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when space is limited, especially when given modest tracking to keep counters open.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, combining a retro, sport-and-industry attitude with a modern, machined sharpness. Its slanted posture and tight proportions add speed and urgency, while the faceted detailing suggests ruggedness and engineered precision.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using faceted geometry and a forward slant to convey speed, toughness, and a machined, industrial character.
In the text sample, the condensed width and strong black mass create a high-contrast word shape at display sizes, while longer lines can look packed if tracking is too tight. The distinctive clipped corners are a defining feature and will read as a deliberate stylistic voice rather than a neutral text face.
