A condensed, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The forms are tall and tightly set with a compact interior, creating strong vertical emphasis and a uniform, poster-like color. Counters are mostly rectangular and narrow, terminals are flat, and joins stay angular, giving letters a cut-from-metal, stencil-adjacent solidity without actual stencil breaks. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s rigid geometry, maintaining a consistent, engineered rhythm across text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where dense, high-impact letterforms read as graphic shapes. It works well in sports or event branding, industrial or urban-themed packaging, and signage-style applications, and can also serve for large-scale numerals on apparel, tickets, or labels.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its sharp chamfers and compressed proportions suggest signage, equipment labeling, and bold headlines where impact and toughness are more important than softness or warmth.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, using faceted geometry to evoke machined, architectural toughness. The consistent chamfered language suggests a display face built for branding systems and titling that need a strong, durable voice.
The facetting is consistent across rounds like C/G/O and in diagonals such as A/V/W/Y, which keeps the set cohesive. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, supporting attention-grabbing set pieces like scores, labels, or numbering in layouts.
