A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, near-octagonal forms. Strokes are consistently thick with tight internal counters and short, flat terminals, producing dense silhouettes and strong texture in lines of text. The uppercase set is broad and stable with squared shoulders and clipped corners, while the lowercase follows the same blocky logic with simplified bowls and angular joins. Numerals and round letters (O, Q, G, S, 8) lean into the same faceted construction for a uniform, engineered rhythm.
This face works best for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, logo wordmarks, and packaging where strong silhouettes matter. It can also serve as a supporting display style in UI badges, labels, or signage when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial feel that reads as tough and utilitarian. The faceted geometry suggests machined parts, athletic lettering, and retro display graphics, giving it an energetic, assertive voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch through simplified, angular construction and uniform heavy strokes. By translating round forms into clipped planes, it aims for a durable, technical look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The font’s tight counters and sharp interior corners create a dark, compact color that benefits from generous tracking at smaller sizes. Faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, helping maintain coherence between letters and figures.
