A condensed, heavy sans with sharp, planar facets that replace most curves with clipped angles. Strokes stay largely uniform, while terminals are frequently cut on diagonals, creating a chiseled silhouette and crisp counters. The uppercase set is tall and compact, with tight interior spaces and a strong vertical rhythm; the lowercase mirrors the same angular logic with sturdy bowls and squared-off joins. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky construction, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well for logotypes and sports or event graphics, and for packaging callouts that benefit from a carved, angular texture. For longer passages, it will typically perform better as short bursts of text or tightly edited subheads.
The overall tone is assertive and industrial, with a carved, mechanical crispness that feels built for impact. Its faceted shaping adds a retro sign-painting and sports-poster energy, leaning loud and confident rather than neutral or texty.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint while maintaining clear, sturdy letterforms. Its faceted cuts suggest an intentional ‘carved’ aesthetic meant to add character and edge without relying on curves or delicate detail.
The design favors straight stems, compact widths, and pronounced diagonal cuts that create a consistent ‘notched’ texture across words. In the sample text, the dense rhythm and sharp terminals produce a strong, graphic color that rewards generous tracking and larger sizes.
