A compact, all-caps–friendly sans with sharply faceted construction and consistently chamfered corners in place of curves. Strokes are heavy and even, with tight apertures and squared terminals that create a rigid, engineered silhouette. Proportions lean tall and condensed, while the geometry favors straight segments, clipped diagonals, and octagonal bowls in characters like O and Q. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, producing a strong, uniform texture that stays legible at display sizes and remains visually stable in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and branding where a hard-edged, technical voice is desired—such as sports identity, industrial packaging, game/UI title treatments, or event posters. It also works well for short bursts of copy on labels, badges, and signage-style layouts where compact width and high visual impact are priorities.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, suggesting machinery, signage, and equipment markings. Its angular facets and compressed stance give it a techno-industrial edge, with a sporty, competitive feel that reads as assertive and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to translate a robust, modern sans into a faceted, corner-cut aesthetic that feels manufactured and precise. By replacing curves with planar segments and maintaining sturdy stroke weight, it aims for a distinctive display presence while preserving straightforward readability.
Numerals mirror the same chamfered, stencil-like geometry, with distinctive, squared counters and diagonal cuts that help differentiate similar forms. The rhythm is tight and forward-driving, and the faceting introduces a crisp sparkle on edges that becomes more pronounced as sizes increase.
