A tightly condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, polygonal curves. Strokes stay essentially even in thickness, with straight-sided bowls and octagonal rounds that create a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and vertical stress dominates, while terminals are consistently clipped rather than rounded. The lowercase follows the same angular logic, pairing narrow proportions with squared shoulders and simplified joins for a firm, uniform texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, and bold packaging or labels where a compact footprint is helpful. It also works for signage and wayfinding when used at sufficient size to preserve clarity in the tight counters and condensed forms.
The faceted geometry and compressed stance project a sturdy, no-nonsense tone with hints of scoreboard lettering and industrial labeling. Its sharp corners and compact spacing feel energetic and assertive, leaning toward a rugged, performance-oriented aesthetic rather than a soft or conversational one.
The letterforms appear designed to translate curved shapes into planar facets, creating a consistent, modular system that feels engineered and durable. Its condensed proportions suggest an emphasis on fitting impactful text into limited space while maintaining a strong, recognizable voice.
Numerals and capitals share a consistent octagonal construction, helping mixed settings look cohesive. The design’s tight apertures and dense texture favor larger sizes, where the angular cuts and distinctive silhouettes read as intentional details rather than clutter.
