A condensed, all-caps–friendly display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Letterforms feel tall and compact, with consistent stroke thickness and tight internal counters that stay clean at headline sizes. Terminals are squared-off or diagonally cut, creating an octagonal rhythm across rounds like C, O, and G, while diagonals in V/W/X read crisp and sturdy. Lowercase follows the same faceted geometry with simple, mechanical bowls and minimal modulation, and the numerals mirror the same clipped, sign-like construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display applications where clarity and impact matter: posters, bold headlines, team or event branding, wayfinding/signage, and packaging or labels that benefit from a tough, geometric voice. It can also work for short UI labels or score/timer-style readouts when set with adequate size and breathing room.
The overall tone is rugged and functional, evoking stenciled labeling, athletic lettering, and industrial signage. Its sharp facets and dense proportions give it a no-nonsense, high-impact presence with a slightly retro, arcade/scoreboard edge.
The font appears intended to translate classic condensed block lettering into a faceted, machined geometry, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and consistent construction. Its clipped corners and simplified shapes suggest a design goal of legibility under bold, high-contrast reproduction, similar to signage and athletic mark-making.
The design’s repeated chamfered corners create a strong texture in lines of text, with pronounced rectangular counters in letters like A, B, and P. Spacing appears disciplined and compact, emphasizing verticality and producing a solid, poster-ready word shape.
