A heavy, all-caps–friendly sans with faceted, chopped corners and straight, slab-like strokes. Forms are predominantly rectangular with beveled terminals and occasional wedge-shaped notches that create a cut-paper or stenciled silhouette without fully breaking strokes. Counters are tight and geometric (notably in O, P, R, and 8), and joins favor hard angles over curves, producing a compact, poster-driven texture. The lowercase follows the same angular construction with simplified bowls and short ascenders, keeping rhythm dense and uniform in word shapes.
Well suited for posters, headlines, and short, high-impact copy where a tough, graphic presence is desired. It can also work for sports branding, packaging, badges, and logo wordmarks that benefit from angular, industrial geometry.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a rugged, hard-edged character that reads as retro-industrial and slightly aggressive. Its faceted cuts add a crafted, hand-cut feel while remaining solid and graphic, giving headlines a punchy, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy, geometric letterforms enhanced by beveled cuts, evoking signage and athletic or industrial graphics while maintaining a clean sans foundation.
Legibility is strongest at display sizes where the beveled corners and small internal counters remain open. The numerals are particularly blocky and emblematic, with the 0 and 8 showing octagonal-style outer shapes that reinforce the geometric, machined impression.
