A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and sharply clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters are tight and often formed by narrow, vertical cut-ins, creating a stencil-like sense of internal carving without fully breaking strokes. The lowercase echoes the uppercase with a compact, tall x-height and minimal differentiation, while joins and terminals stay rigid and squared. Overall rhythm is dense and muscular, with slightly irregular internal notches and occasional asymmetry that adds a cut-metal feel.
Best suited to large sizes where its carved details and sharp facets can be appreciated—posters, event graphics, sports identities, album or game titles, and bold packaging. It can also work for compact logo wordmarks or badges when a rugged, industrial impression is desired.
The font projects a tough, engineered tone—confident, forceful, and a bit confrontational. Its faceted construction and compact counters evoke machinery, sports branding, and retro poster lettering, giving it a bold, no-nonsense voice that reads as energetic and commanding.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that translates a geometric sans structure into a faceted, cut-from-solid aesthetic. By minimizing curves and tightening counters, it prioritizes punchy silhouette recognition and a hard-edged texture for attention-grabbing typography.
In running text, the tight apertures and narrow interior slits create strong texture and high ink density, favoring short headlines over extended reading. Numerals and caps share the same clipped-corner logic, maintaining a consistent, block-built presence across alphanumerics.
