A compact, all-caps-friendly display sans with hard, faceted outlines that replace curves with straight segments and clipped corners. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, producing a sturdy, poster-like color with minimal contrast. Counters are angular and tight, terminals are blunt, and joins form crisp corners, giving the alphabet a consistent octagonal rhythm. Proportions are condensed with a relatively tall lowercase, and the overall spacing reads even and firm in both the grid and the text sample.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, badges, packaging, sports and event graphics, and wayfinding where a compact width and strong silhouette help conserve space. It can also work for logos and titling that benefits from a rugged, engineered feel.
The faceted geometry and compact massing convey a tough, utilitarian voice—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro. It suggests stenciled or engineered labeling, with an athletic scoreboard and industrial signage energy.
The design appears intended as a bold, condensed display face that maintains legibility while emphasizing a sharp, machined look through consistent chamfers and straight-sided geometry. Its construction prioritizes punchy texture and uniformity across letters and numerals for branding and signage-forward applications.
In longer lines the dense, squared forms create strong texture and a commanding presence, while the tight interior shapes can reduce openness at smaller sizes. The numerals match the same clipped-corner construction for a cohesive headline set.
