A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and pronounced chamfered corners, replacing most curves with faceted, octagonal geometry. Counters are squarish and compact, apertures are tight, and terminals tend to end in flat cuts, producing a sturdy, engineered silhouette. The lowercase keeps simple, mostly single-storey forms with squared bowls and a short-armed, angular rhythm; dots and small details read as crisp, rectangular marks. Numerals follow the same hard-edged construction, with especially squared 0/8/9 forms that feel like cut metal or stencil-adjacent signage.
Best suited to display applications where impact and a technical edge are desirable: headlines, posters, brand marks, sports and team graphics, product packaging, and bold UI labels. It can work for short bursts of copy, but its dense, angular texture favors larger sizes and succinct messaging over extended reading.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with an assertive presence that suggests equipment labeling, uniforms, and no-nonsense branding. Its faceted construction adds a subtle sci‑fi and retro sport flavor, giving text a distinctive “machined” character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional sans structure into a hard-edged, faceted system, emphasizing durability and geometric consistency. By systematically chamfering corners and squaring bowls and counters, it aims to deliver a rugged, modern-industrial voice with strong sign-like clarity.
The face shows a consistent system of corner chamfers across caps, lowercase, and figures, which creates strong texture in blocks of text. Spacing appears compact and the dark color forms dominate, making it most effective when used with ample tracking and breathing room or at display sizes.
