A heavy, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted, near-octagonal geometry. Terminals are squared and chamfered, and counters tend toward rectangular shapes, producing a strong, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase follows the same rigid construction with single-storey forms and compact apertures, giving it a tall, columnar texture in text. Numerals and capitals share consistent cut angles and sturdy verticals for a tightly unified set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong silhouettes and compact width help fit more characters into a line. It also works well for sports-themed graphics, wayfinding-style signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, engineered look.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with an athletic scoreboard and industrial signage feel. Its sharp facets and compact width project strength, control, and a slightly retro, tech-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a tightly constructed, angular voice—prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent corner-cut detailing, and a dense vertical rhythm for display use.
The uniform chamfer treatment across corners creates a crisp, patterned silhouette that stays cohesive at large sizes. Because many forms rely on tight counters and narrow joins, it reads most confidently when given breathing room and used for short, high-impact lines.
