A compact, heavy all-caps–friendly sans with sharp chamfered corners and faceted construction that replaces curves with angled planes. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, even color in text. Counters are tight and mostly squared-off, while joins and terminals are clipped into small diagonals that give the outlines an octagonal rhythm. Proportions run narrow and vertically emphatic, with a large lowercase x-height and short extenders that keep word shapes dense and punchy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where strong presence and compressed width are advantages. It also fits sports and team-style branding, rugged packaging, and bold wayfinding or signage applications that benefit from high-impact, angular letterforms.
The faceted geometry reads bold and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its clipped corners and compact stance evoke stenciled signage, athletic numbering, and rugged product marks, leaning slightly retro while still feeling modern and engineered.
Likely intended as a high-impact display face that translates industrial, athletic, and signage cues into a cohesive faceted sans. The consistent chamfering and compact proportions suggest a focus on quick recognition at large sizes and a distinctive, tough-edged voice for branding.
The design maintains a consistent corner language across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive. The tight apertures and small counters prioritize impact over delicacy, and the narrow set supports headline packing and space-efficient typographic blocks.
