A compact, heavy sans with angular, faceted construction that replaces curves with clipped corners and short diagonals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. Counters tend toward squarish/octagonal shapes (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), and terminals are flat or chamfered for a crisp, machined feel. The lowercase keeps a sturdy, utilitarian structure—single-storey a and g, a narrow i with a square dot, and a high-contrast-free rhythm that stays steady across the alphabet and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and bold typographic treatments where its faceted geometry can be appreciated. It also fits sports branding, team marks, and number-driven layouts, as well as packaging and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from a tough, utilitarian presence.
The overall tone is assertive and pragmatic, evoking stenciled signage, sports numbering, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets add a hard-edged, technical flavor that reads as rugged and purposeful rather than delicate or friendly.
The font appears designed to deliver a strong, space-efficient voice with a distinctive faceted geometry—aiming for impact, clarity, and a rugged industrial character without relying on curves or ornament.
The design’s clipped corners create distinctive silhouettes at display sizes, while the tight interior spaces and dense color suggest more careful use at smaller text sizes or in long passages. Numerals share the same octagonal logic, supporting a consistent voice in headings, stats, and data callouts.
