A heavy, compact display face built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, with planar facets standing in for curves. Letterforms are mostly squared with octagonal cuts at outer corners and notched joins that create a stepped, engineered rhythm. Counters are tight and rectangular, terminals tend to be flat, and diagonals (as in A, K, M, N, V, W, X) are rendered as strong, straight segments that keep the texture dense and uniform. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with a sturdy, sign-like silhouette and minimal modulation.
This font suits short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, product packaging, and wayfinding/signage where a bold, angular voice is desired. It also works well for logos and title treatments that benefit from a compact, hard-edged silhouette.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, varsity/arena graphics, and hard-edged retro technology. Its sharp geometry and compact forms read as confident and no-nonsense, with an energetic, competitive edge.
The design appears intended to translate the visual language of chiseled planes and cut corners into a consistent alphabet, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and a rugged, manufactured feel over softness or calligraphic detail.
Because the facets replace rounding, the design maintains clarity at larger sizes while creating a distinctly machined texture in paragraphs. The tight apertures and enclosed counters produce a dark, continuous color, especially in mixed-case settings.
