A heavy, blocky sans with chamfered corners and faceted joins that turn curves into clipped, polygonal forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are squared-off and slightly condensed, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. The uppercase is tall and rigid with broad horizontals, while the lowercase keeps the same angular vocabulary, using simplified bowls and straight-sided stems; round letters like o/e show octagonal outlines. Numerals follow the same cut-corner construction, with the 0 and 8 formed from straight segments and tight interior counters.
Best suited to display settings where its angular cuts can be appreciated: headlines, posters, logos and wordmarks, sports and team branding, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts where a technical, robust tone is desired.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, evoking equipment labeling, sports identity, and industrial signage. Its faceted geometry reads as modern and purposeful, with a no-nonsense voice that prioritizes impact over softness.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional grotesque skeleton into a hard-edged, faceted system, creating a strong, contemporary voice that feels engineered and durable. The consistent chamfers suggest a focus on reproducible geometry and high-impact legibility in short phrases.
The clipped terminals create crisp internal white shapes and a slightly "machined" texture in text. At smaller sizes the tight counters and many corners can make paragraphs feel dense, while at display sizes the angular detailing becomes a defining feature.
