A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace most curves with straight segments. Strokes are broadly uniform with crisp terminals and a tight, squared-off rhythm, while counters tend toward rectangular and octagonal shapes. Uppercase forms feel compact and sturdy, and the lowercase maintains the same geometric logic with simplified bowls and squared shoulders, producing a consistent, engineered texture in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold callouts where strong geometry and high visual impact are desired. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, packaging labels, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from sturdy, hard-edged letterforms. For longer text, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the faceting can remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with an industrial and athletic edge. Its sharp geometry and dense black presence suggest machinery, signage, and competitive branding rather than softness or informality. The faceting adds a subtly retro-tech flavor reminiscent of stencil-like, hard-edged display lettering.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a compact, engineered look, using planar facets to evoke precision and toughness. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent angular construction across cases and figures for cohesive, logo-friendly display typography.
The design relies on strong verticals and flattened curves, creating clear silhouettes and a punchy, high-impact word shape. In longer lines, the repeated chamfers produce a distinctive patterned texture that reads as deliberate and mechanical. Numerals match the same octagonal construction, reinforcing a unified, utilitarian system.
