A compact, heavy sans with squared silhouettes and consistent stroke weight. Curves are largely replaced by flat planes and chamfered corners, giving bowls and diagonals a faceted, cut-metal feel. Counters are small and rectangular, terminals are blunt, and joins are crisp, producing a tight, high-impact texture. The lowercase keeps simplified, sturdy forms with single-storey shapes and a strong vertical emphasis, maintaining a uniform, poster-ready rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, packaging front panels, and attention-grabbing signage. It performs well when set large, where the faceted detailing and tight counters can be appreciated without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with an industrial and athletic edge. Its hard corners and compressed stance suggest signage, stenciled equipment labels, and bold headline typography where clarity and impact matter more than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using faceted construction to evoke ruggedness and mechanical precision. It prioritizes bold presence and a consistent blocky rhythm for display typography that needs to feel strong, modern, and utilitarian.
Uppercase forms read especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase remains compact and functional, helping longer phrases stay dense without feeling ornate. Numerals match the same squared, chamfered construction, reinforcing a consistent, engineered character across alphanumerics.
