A condensed, heavy-weight display sans built from sharp planar facets rather than true curves. Strokes are essentially monolinear, with corners clipped into diagonal cuts that create a chiseled, octagonal rhythm across bowls and joins. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and the overall construction stays rigidly vertical with tight sidebearings, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Numerals and capitals follow the same squared, beveled geometry, with consistent terminals and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact wordshape is desirable. It also fits sports identities, event graphics, packaging, and logo/lockup work that benefits from an angular, machined aesthetic.
The faceted cuts and compact massing give the face a tough, no-nonsense voice—mechanical, forceful, and slightly retro in a sign-paint and sports-headline way. It reads as bold and commanding, with a controlled aggressiveness that suits high-impact messages.
The design appears intended to translate the sturdiness of block lettering into a clean digital system, using bevel-like facets to add character while keeping strokes simple and highly repeatable. Its proportions and tight density prioritize punchy display readability over delicate text nuance.
Lowercase forms largely echo uppercase structure, reinforcing a uniform, engineered feel across mixed-case text. The faceting is applied consistently, so even at smaller sizes the silhouette stays crisp, though the tight counters suggest it will look strongest when given room to breathe and sufficient size.
