A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters are mostly rectangular and tightly enclosed, with occasional cut-ins and notches that create a machined, segmented feel. Terminals are blunt and squared, while diagonals and joins are simplified into hard angles, producing a compact silhouette with strong, even color on the page. Spacing appears sturdy and slightly tight, emphasizing dense word shapes and a rhythmic, modular texture across lines.
Best suited for large-scale typography where its angular faceting and dense mass can be appreciated—headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold packaging titles. It also fits sports or industrial-themed graphics and signage-style applications where a tough, machined voice is desirable.
The overall tone feels industrial and engineered, like lettering cut from metal plates or stamped onto equipment. Its sharp geometry and dense weight read as confident and forceful, with a hint of retro arcade and sports-block energy.
The design appears intended to translate a bold sans into a faceted, hard-edged system that suggests cutting, stamping, or polygonal construction. By standardizing chamfers and minimizing curves, it aims for maximum impact and a distinctive, engineered texture in short phrases and display settings.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, giving letters like O/C/G/S and numerals a distinctive octagonal character. Small interior notches and angled corner trims add visual bite, but also increase texture at smaller sizes, reinforcing its role as a display face rather than a quiet text workhorse.
