A condensed, faceted sans with crisp, chamfered corners that replace curves with short planar segments. Strokes are heavy and consistent, producing a compact vertical rhythm and strong color on the page. Counters are narrow and mostly rectilinear; round letters like O, C, and G read as octagonal forms, while joins and terminals end in blunt, squared-off cuts. The overall fit is tight and efficient, with tall proportions, minimal curvature, and a sturdy, signage-like construction across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports branding and industrial or technical themes, performing well in short blocks of text, labels, and title treatments where its faceted geometry can be appreciated.
The tone is firm and utilitarian, with an athletic, industrial edge. Its sharp geometry feels engineered and disciplined, suggesting strength and control rather than softness or friendliness. The faceted silhouettes add a subtle retro, sports-stencil energy while staying clean and contemporary.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using chamfered geometry to evoke machined, architectural forms. The consistent stroke weight and clipped corners prioritize clarity and toughness, creating a practical display face with a distinctive angular signature.
The condensed width and dense stroke weight create strong emphasis, especially in all-caps settings and short phrases. The faceting produces distinctive silhouettes at display sizes, while the narrow counters and tight spacing can make long text feel intense and visually compact.
