A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and prominent chamfered corners that give many strokes an octagonal, machined look. Counters and apertures are generally tight and rectilinear, with rounded-rectangle bowls in letters like O/D and cut-in notches or squared joins in letters like S/C/G. Terminals tend to end in flat slabs or clipped angles, and the overall silhouette reads compact and sturdy, with a tall x-height and simplified lowercase forms that echo the caps. Numerals follow the same geometric, cut-corner logic, keeping a consistent, high-impact texture across lines of text.
Well-suited to bold headlines, posters, and identity work where a strong, geometric voice is needed. It can also work for sports branding, product packaging, and short signage messages, especially when clarity at a distance and a rugged, industrial flavor are priorities.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian attitude—part industrial signage, part retro athletic or arcade display. Its dense shapes and clipped geometry feel engineered and forceful, lending a confident, high-energy tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a constructed, cut-corner geometry that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. It prioritizes a distinctive silhouette and compact, sign-paint-like sturdiness over open, text-oriented readability.
In continuous text the tight openings and heavy interior shapes create a dark typographic color; the design reads best when given room (larger sizes, shorter lines, or increased tracking). The mix of squared bowls and angled cuts creates a distinctive rhythm that stands out in headings and branding.
