A heavy, monoline sans with faceted construction: curves are replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing octagonal counters and clipped terminals. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness, with squared shoulders and flat horizontals that keep letterforms compact and punchy. The lowercase features a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a dense texture in text. Figures follow the same angular logic, with crisp, planar joins and a generally condensed silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where its angular structure can be appreciated at size. It also fits wayfinding/signage, sports or team-style branding, and bold packaging labels that benefit from a compact, high-impact word shape.
The overall tone feels tough and functional, with an industrial, sign-like presence. Its sharp facets and clipped curves add a sporty, athletic energy that reads as retro-mechanical rather than soft or friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted aesthetic into a straightforward sans structure, prioritizing punch, legibility at display sizes, and a distinctive mechanical rhythm created by chamfered corners and planar curves.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (C/G/O/Q and 0/8/9), giving counters a geometric, almost stencil-adjacent rhythm without actual breaks. In running text the uniform stroke and tight interiors create strong color and impact, but small sizes may need generous spacing to prevent forms from visually closing up.
