A compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptic construction and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette in curved letters. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly flat, giving the design a sturdy, signlike presence. Counters are tight and geometric, with small apertures in letters like S and C, and simplified inner shapes in B, P, and R. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic, with a single-storey a and g, tall, straight stems, and short, squared shoulders; the numerals are similarly angular and dense, with an enclosed, faceted 0 and an 8 built from stacked, squared bowls.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, headlines, and bold campaign lines where strong, compact shapes maximize impact. It can work well for sports branding, merchandise, and packaging that benefits from an assertive, industrial voice. Shorter text blocks and large sizes will showcase its angular detailing and dense counters most effectively.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, athletic titling, and bold display typography. Its crisp chamfers and compact rhythm add a subtle retro flavor while keeping the voice direct and contemporary. The texture reads punchy and confident, designed to hold attention at a glance.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum visual punch through heavy, condensed proportions and a consistent chamfered geometry. The design prioritizes clarity and a tough, mechanical character over softness, aiming for a bold, emblematic look that stands out in titling and branding.
The design maintains consistent geometry across cases, with a noticeably compressed rhythm and close internal spacing that increases visual weight. Pointed joins appear in diagonals like A, V, W, and Y, while rounded characters retain their faceted corners rather than fully smooth curves, reinforcing a mechanical, engineered feel.
