A heavy, blocky sans with angular, faceted construction that replaces many curves with straight planes and clipped corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark letterforms and small interior counters in letters like B, e, and a. Proportions are compact with a steady rhythm and straightforward geometry; terminals are blunt and squared off, while joins often form sharp, planar transitions. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, engineered feel, and the overall set reads as built from cut shapes rather than drawn curves.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong impact and a sturdy voice are needed. It can work well for signage, packaging, and sports or industrial-themed graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted construction reads clearly.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling and bold signage. Its faceted edges add a slightly mechanical, rugged character that feels energetic and purposeful rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact legibility with a distinctive faceted twist—combining the familiarity of a sturdy grotesque-like skeleton with angular cut-ins that create a more mechanical, rugged personality.
The faceting is especially noticeable in rounded characters (C, G, O, S, 0), which appear subtly polygonal, giving the font a distinctive texture at display sizes. The dense weight and tight counters favor short phrases and large setting, where the angular detailing is most apparent.
