A heavy, geometric sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace most curves with short planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and counters tend toward octagonal or squared-off shapes, giving rounds like O, C, and G a cut-metal silhouette. Terminals are blunt and flat, diagonals are sturdy and wide, and spacing reads compact and utilitarian. The lowercase keeps simple, sturdy construction with squared bowls and straight-sided stems, while numerals echo the same faceted geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, logos, apparel marks, posters, and packaging where the angular facets can be read clearly. It also works well for sports or industrial-themed branding and for labels or wayfinding where a tough, engineered tone is desirable.
The faceted construction evokes machined parts, sports signage, and hard-edged display typography. Its voice is assertive and no-nonsense, leaning toward rugged, engineered, and slightly retro-futuristic rather than friendly or lyrical.
The design appears intended to translate a sturdy sans skeleton into a faceted, cut-corner aesthetic that feels manufactured and bold in silhouette. By standardizing chamfers across the alphabet and numerals, it prioritizes graphic punch and a cohesive, emblematic texture in display use.
The distinctive corner cuts create strong recognition at headline sizes and add a consistent texture across words, especially in all-caps settings. The systematized facets also make circular letters feel more emblem-like, which can increase impact but may feel rigid in longer reading.
