A compact, monolinear sans with chamfered corners that turn bowls and curves into crisp, octagonal facets. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing a rigid, mechanical rhythm. Proportions are tall and space-efficient, with squared counters and clipped terminals that keep shapes tight and angular. Numerals and capitals read especially geometric, while the lowercase maintains the same faceted construction for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and wayfinding where the angular construction can be a visual feature. It also fits athletic or industrial-themed graphics and packaging that benefit from a tough, equipment-inspired texture.
The overall tone is rugged and purpose-built, evoking industrial labeling, sports apparel, and engineered signage. Its sharp facets and dense color give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice with a slightly retro, equipment-like feel.
Likely designed to translate curved letterforms into a consistent system of planar cuts, delivering a strong, space-efficient sans that feels engineered and durable. The emphasis appears to be on recognizability, geometric consistency, and bold presence in display use.
The faceting is applied systematically across the set, creating predictable corner cuts and a consistent edge geometry that holds up well at larger sizes. The compact spacing and sturdy forms prioritize impact over softness, with distinctive polygonal rounds in characters like O, C, and G and similarly clipped joints in diagonals and terminals.
