A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and consistent, low-contrast strokes. Curves are largely replaced by sharp planar cuts, producing beveled terminals and faceted bowls, especially visible in round letters like C, G, O, and S. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, giving the face a dense, solid color in text. Uppercase forms read blocky and stable, while lowercase maintains simple constructions with short ascenders/descenders and a sturdy, compact rhythm; numerals follow the same cut-corner logic for a cohesive set.
Works best for headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where the faceted silhouettes can be appreciated and the strong weight provides immediate presence. It also fits sports and industrial/tech branding systems that benefit from hard edges and a rugged, machined voice.
The faceted geometry lends a machined, engineered tone that feels tough and no-nonsense. Its sharp cuts and dense weight suggest energy and impact, with an industrial or sport-minded confidence rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a straightforward grotesque skeleton into a more aggressive, constructed look by substituting curves with planar facets. This creates a distinctive display personality while keeping familiar sans proportions for quick recognition.
The angular corner treatment is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a distinctive “cut-metal” silhouette at display sizes. In paragraphs the tight counters and strong mass make it best suited to short bursts of copy where impact matters more than delicate texture.
