A compact, faceted sans with hard planar cuts that replace curves, producing octagonal bowls, clipped corners, and sharp terminals throughout. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with crisp, straight-sided counters and squared interior corners that create a chiseled, constructed feel. Proportions are tight and vertical, with short crossbars and simplified joins; rounded forms like O, C, and S read as polygonal silhouettes. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with especially geometric 0 and 8 forms and a straight, utilitarian 1.
Best suited to display applications where its angular construction can read clearly—posters, headlines, branding marks, apparel graphics, labels, and bold wayfinding or signage. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation at larger sizes where the distinctive faceting adds character without relying on fine detail.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking athletic jersey lettering and machine-cut signage. Its hard angles and compact rhythm suggest durability and impact rather than softness or elegance, giving it a slightly retro, utilitarian character.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact voice built from straight strokes and corner cuts, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and a consistent geometric motif. It aims to translate the look of cut metal, stenciled plates, or jersey-style block lettering into a clean, modern sans structure.
Letterforms maintain a consistent corner-cut motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps the design stay cohesive in mixed-case settings. The faceting becomes more pronounced at display sizes, where the polygonal counters and clipped terminals read as an intentional texture.
