A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Stems maintain a consistent, heavy stroke while counters and bowls resolve into octagonal and rectangular forms, producing a rigid, engineered silhouette. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact apertures and squared terminals that keep texture dense and even in lines of text.
Best suited to display sizes where the faceted details stay clear: headlines, posters, logos, and sports or industrial branding. It also works well for labels, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage where a compact, impactful word shape is desirable.
The faceted construction and sturdy weight give the type a tough, functional tone—more machinery and signage than editorial refinement. Its geometry reads as decisive and no-nonsense, with an athletic/industrial edge that feels at home in competitive or technical contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a strict, geometric identity. By systematically chamfering corners and avoiding true curves, it creates a distinctive, reproducible look that emphasizes strength, precision, and consistency.
Uppercase forms look especially uniform and emblematic, while the lowercase keeps the same angular language, resulting in a consistent voice across cases. Numerals share the same clipped-corner logic, supporting strong, high-contrast readout-style settings.
