A compact, heavy geometric sans built from flat planes and hard chamfered corners, with curves consistently replaced by octagonal facets. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal cut-ins that create notched counters and angular joins. The overall rhythm is tight and dense, with sturdy, rectangular proportions; round letters like O and C read as multi-sided forms, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are wide and forceful. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, producing bold, sign-like figures with strong silhouette clarity.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouettes matter: posters, headlines, packaging callouts, sports and team identities, and apparel or merch graphics. It can also work for game or tech interfaces as a punchy label face, especially when used with generous tracking and ample size.
The faceted construction and blunt mass give the font a rugged, high-impact tone that feels industrial and competitive. Its angular notches add a hint of machined or tactical character, projecting toughness and urgency rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of cut metal or machined lettering into a consistent typographic system, prioritizing impact and recognizability. By standardizing chamfers and notches across the set, it aims to deliver a bold, engineered voice that stands out in branding and titling contexts.
At larger sizes the planar cuts become a key stylistic feature, creating a distinctive, stamped look. In longer text the dense shapes and sharp interior corners can make word textures feel heavy and insistent, favoring short bursts of copy over extended reading.
