A compact, heavy all-caps and mixed-case design built from straight strokes and clipped corners rather than curves. Counters are tight and largely rectangular, with diagonal chamfers creating an octagonal, faceted silhouette across rounds like C, O, and G. Vertical stems dominate, terminals are blunt, and joins stay crisp, producing a sturdy, poster-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, and the overall spacing reads dense and punchy, especially in uppercase settings.
Best suited to large-size applications where bold presence and angular character are an asset—headlines, posters, sports and team branding, event graphics, and high-impact packaging. It can also work for wayfinding or labels when short phrases need strong emphasis and quick recognition.
The face conveys a forceful, no-nonsense tone with strong industrial and athletic signage associations. Its sharp facets and compressed presence feel assertive and utilitarian, with a hint of retro display energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint by replacing curves with consistent planar cuts and maintaining a strict, block-like construction. The repeated chamfers unify the alphabet into a cohesive, rugged display voice that stays legible under heavy weight and tight spacing.
Lowercase forms largely echo the uppercase construction, maintaining the same squared bowls and clipped arcs, which keeps texture consistent in longer lines. The faceting is systematic and repeated at key corners, giving the type a machined, stenciled-adjacent look without obvious breaks in strokes.
