A condensed, heavy sans with sharply faceted geometry that replaces curves with clipped corners and planar edges. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense vertical emphasis and a tight rhythm in text. Counters are compact and polygonal, and terminals are blunt and squared-off, giving letters a machined, cut-from-metal feel. Overall proportions favor tall ascenders and narrow widths, supporting impactful setting in short lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branded statements where compact width and strong weight are advantages. It also fits sports and team-style identity work, industrial or technical signage, and bold packaging labels that need an assertive, space-efficient voice. Use with generous tracking or larger sizes when setting longer phrases to keep counters from closing up.
The tone is tough and no-nonsense, evoking industrial signage and athletic or collegiate display lettering. Its angular facets add a slightly dramatic, retro edge while staying functional and direct. The result feels assertive and engineered rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint while adding character through faceted, chiseled corner treatments. It prioritizes a strong vertical stance and consistent, machine-like construction for clear, forceful display typography.
The facet cuts are applied consistently across rounds and joints, helping maintain a uniform texture at display sizes. Because the internal spaces are tight and the forms are dense, it reads strongest when given enough size and breathing room, especially in longer lines.
