A condensed, heavy sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes are monoline and dense, with squared terminals and frequent chamfers that create a crisp, planar rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular or polygonal forms, and the overall drawing favors verticality with tall capitals and compact lowercase. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with strong, stable forms and minimal curvature.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where its compact width and hard-edged forms can dominate: posters, headlines, branding marks, sports or team-style graphics, and bold wayfinding or label applications. It also works well for number-forward layouts such as scores, jersey-style numerals, or product identifiers where a rugged, geometric voice is desired.
The typeface projects a tough, engineered tone—assertive and functional rather than delicate. Its angular facets and compact proportions evoke sporty numbering, industrial signage, and a slightly retro, hard-edged display attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, faceted aesthetic. By substituting curves with clipped planes, it creates a sturdy, uniform texture optimized for display and emphatic messaging.
The faceting is consistently applied across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping the set read as a unified system. The condensed width and heavy color create strong headline impact but can make long passages feel dense, especially at smaller sizes.
