A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with octagonal construction: curves are replaced by straight segments and consistent chamfered corners, giving letters a faceted, machined look. Strokes read largely even in thickness, with squared terminals and tight internal counters that stay open through deliberate cut-ins. Proportions are compact and tall, with a steady vertical rhythm; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and symmetrical, while round forms (O, Q, C, G, S) become multi-sided silhouettes. The lowercase echoes the same geometry with simple, straight-sided bowls and short, squared joins, keeping the texture uniform in running text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, high-impact word shape is useful. It also works well for sports-style marks, wayfinding and labeling, packaging, and UI moments like dashboards, badges, or counters where angular clarity and a compact footprint are desirable.
The overall tone feels industrial and no-nonsense, evoking stenciled signage, sports numbering, and engineered interfaces. Its hard angles and compact fit communicate strength and efficiency, with a slightly retro, arcade/scoreboard flavor that reads as purposeful rather than decorative.
The font appears designed to translate the feel of octagonal, cut-metal letterforms into a consistent text family—prioritizing compactness, strong silhouettes, and repeatable chamfer logic for fast recognition across letters and numbers.
The design maintains consistent corner treatments across letters and numerals, which helps it hold together as a system in headlines and short copy. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, producing a cohesive set suitable for data-heavy or identifier-led typography.
