A heavy, compact display face built from broad strokes and flattened, faceted curves. Corners are frequently clipped into short diagonals, giving bowls and joints a planar, chiseled look rather than smooth rounds. Counters are relatively small and apertures tend toward closed, which increases color density and creates strong, poster-like silhouettes. Terminals are blunt and straight, and overall spacing reads tight and sturdy, with a consistent, squared-off rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short-form display work where mass and silhouette matter: headlines, posters, event graphics, logos, labels, and bold packaging. It can also work for large-scale signage or punchy UI moments (badges, promo tiles) where a tough, compact voice is desirable.
The tone is forceful and high-impact, with an engineered, cut-from-solid feel. Its angular facets add a rugged, utilitarian edge that can read sporty or industrial, while the chunky proportions evoke a slightly retro headline sensibility.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a distinctive faceted construction, combining sturdy geometric forms with clipped corners to create a memorable, rugged display texture.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounded letters and diagonals, producing a cohesive, geometric texture in text. Numerals match the letterforms’ density and blocky construction, supporting unified typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
