A condensed, heavy sans with crisp chamfered corners and faceted construction that replaces curves with straight planes. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, with squared terminals and frequent 45° cuts that create an octagonal rhythm in counters and outer shapes. Proportions are compact with tight apertures and a relatively low x-height; round letters like O/Q and numerals are drawn as polygonal forms, and diagonals in K, X, and V are sharp and rigid. The overall texture is dense and dark, with consistent geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display applications where its angular facets and dense color can carry the visual message—headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging. It can also work for short labels or wayfinding-style text when a rugged, engineered aesthetic is desired, but its compact apertures and dark texture favor larger sizes and moderate tracking.
The faceted, machined look suggests utilitarian strength and engineered precision, bringing to mind athletic jersey lettering, equipment labeling, and rugged signage. Its sharp angles and compact stance give it a confident, no-nonsense tone that reads as assertive and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, high-impact sans with a consistently faceted geometry, translating traditional forms into a planar, machined aesthetic for bold display typography.
Counters tend to be small and angular, and joins are tight, which increases impact at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same planar logic, with an octagonal 0 and similarly clipped curves across the set.
