A heavy, block-built sans with faceted corners that substitute for smooth curves, giving counters and outer forms a chiseled, planar feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with squared terminals, tight apertures, and compact interior spaces that create strong, dark typographic color. The uppercase is tall and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a robust, simplified structure with minimal modulation and a slightly condensed, punchy rhythm. Numerals follow the same carved geometry, reading cleanly as solid, sign-like figures.
Best suited to display settings where strong silhouette and immediate impact matter—headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and bold branding. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefits from a tough, industrial voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the faceted detailing reads clearly.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a rugged, engineered character. Its sharp facets and dense weight evoke stamped lettering, sports display, and industrial labeling, lending an energetic, retro-leaning impact in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive faceted construction, trading smooth curves for crisp planar cuts. This approach creates a rugged, contemporary display voice with clear, repeatable geometry across letters and figures.
In text blocks the tight counters and narrow openings increase density, so it benefits from generous tracking and size when extended copy is required. The faceting is consistent across rounds (C/O/Q/G) and diagonals, creating a unified, cut-from-solid visual logic.
