A heavy, geometric sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight segments, creating an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, producing dense, compact counters and strong figure–ground separation. Uppercase forms feel slightly condensed and squared, while lowercase keeps the same angular construction and a tall x-height for a sturdy, utilitarian texture. Terminals are blunt and planar, and the overall rhythm is rigid and modular, staying visually consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display roles where impact and immediacy matter: posters, headlines, team or event branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also support UI labels or wayfinding-style graphics when used at larger sizes and with comfortable tracking to maintain legibility.
The tone is tough and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling, athletic block lettering, and technical or tactical graphics. Its sharp facets add a mechanical edge that reads as confident and assertive rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a consistent faceted geometry, translating classic block capitals into a sharper, more technical visual language. The tall lowercase and sturdy numerals suggest a focus on practical readability while keeping a distinctive, angular personality.
The angular construction is especially apparent in traditionally round letters, which become multi-sided forms with clipped corners, reinforcing a machine-cut feel. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense color suggest it works best when given adequate size or spacing to preserve interior clarity.
