A compact, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Stems are heavy and mostly uniform in thickness, with sharp joins and frequent 45° cuts at terminals and outer corners. Counters tend to be tall and narrow, and bowls (as in O, D, P, R) read as octagonal forms rather than true rounds. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with squared-off apertures and a sturdy, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, athletic and team identities, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for tech-leaning UI accents or section titles where a strong, condensed voice is needed, but its dense texture is most effective at display sizes rather than long reading.
The faceted geometry and hard edges give the face a tough, engineered tone—part industrial stencil, part arena scoreboard. It feels assertive and functional, with a slightly retro-digital flavor that suggests machinery, uniforms, and bold signage.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a distinctive, machined look. The systematic faceting turns familiar sans shapes into a rugged, brandable voice aimed at bold communication and graphic presence.
Diagonal cuts are used consistently to articulate corners and create a chiseled silhouette, which helps maintain clarity at large sizes. The numeral set follows the same octagonal logic (notably 0, 2, 3, 8), reinforcing a technical, sign-paint-like character. Lowercase forms mirror the uppercase’s angular construction, keeping the palette cohesive for mixed-case settings.
