A condensed, heavy all-caps-and-lowercase design built from straight strokes and clipped corners, with curves largely replaced by chamfered, faceted joins. Strokes read as broadly even in weight, producing a solid, poster-like texture with tight counters and a compact, vertical stance. Terminals are typically blunt and squared, while rounded forms like O, C, G, and 0 become octagonal silhouettes; diagonals (A, V, W, X) keep crisp, geometric edges. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic for a consistent, engineered rhythm across letters and figures.
Best suited to display settings where its angular construction can read clearly and add character—headlines, posters, logos, labels, and packaging. It also fits sports-themed graphics, industrial-inspired identities, and short UI or game titles where a compact, robust texture is desirable.
The sharp facets and compact proportions give the face a tough, utilitarian tone that feels industrial and athletic. Its geometry suggests signage, equipment markings, and retro-tech aesthetics—confident, functional, and a bit game-like in its punchy presence.
This font appears designed to translate traditional sans letterforms into a faceted, cut-metal geometry, emphasizing durability and high impact. The consistent chamfering and condensed fit point to an intention of creating a distinctive display voice that remains systematic across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The overall spacing and narrow set create strong vertical momentum, and the repeated chamfers unify the alphabet into a cohesive system. Lowercase maintains the same rigid construction as uppercase, prioritizing uniform geometry over calligraphic contrast or softness.
