A compact, heavy sans with crisp chamfered corners that turn curves into short planar facets. Strokes are largely monoline with squared terminals, producing an even, blocky color and a steady rhythm in text. Counters are tight and often polygonal, and rounded forms like O, C, and G read as octagonal constructions rather than true curves. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with single-storey forms (notably a) and a narrow, vertical emphasis; numerals follow the same faceted geometry for a consistent, sign-like texture.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a bold, engineered presence is desirable. It also fits sports branding, labels, and wayfinding or UI callouts that benefit from compact width and hard-edged clarity.
The overall tone is tough and functional, mixing a sporty scoreboard feel with an industrial, machine-made crispness. Its angular facets add a subtle retro-tech flavor while keeping the voice direct and no-nonsense.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a neutral sans skeleton into a faceted, chamfered construction that reads like cut metal, machined signage, or athletic marking. The aim is visual impact and geometric consistency, prioritizing sturdy shapes and recognizable silhouettes over softness or warmth.
The strong corner chamfers create distinctive silhouettes at display sizes, but the tight apertures and condensed set can make dense passages feel compact. The design’s consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures emphasizes systematized geometry over calligraphic nuance.
