A compact, block-built sans with heavy strokes and crisply chamfered corners that turn curves into straight-edged facets. Counters are small and often polygonal, with terminals cut flat or angled for a machined look. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with squared shoulders and short joins that keep silhouettes sturdy and uniform. Numerals and capitals share the same angular construction, creating an even, sign-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its dense weight and angular silhouettes can carry personality—headlines, badges, labels, sports or event graphics, and bold brand marks. It also works well for signage-style layouts and punchy packaging where legibility at larger sizes is the priority.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking engineered hardware, athletic graphics, and vintage industrial lettering. Its faceted geometry adds a slightly futuristic edge while still reading as familiar, poster-friendly block type.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, faceted construction that mimics cut metal or routed lettering. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent, machined forms to create a distinctive display voice that stays stable and readable in bold applications.
Round letters like O, C, G, and S resolve into octagonal/stepped forms, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are handled with thick, confident cuts rather than delicate joins. Lowercase keeps the same rigid construction, with a single-storey a and g and a compact, square-shouldered m and n that reinforce the condensed, punchy color.
