A heavy, compact sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, creating an octagonal, planar look. Strokes are consistently thick and uniform, with squared terminals and crisp interior counters that stay open even at small sizes. The capitals feel monolithic and sign-like, while the lowercase follows the same angular logic with simplified bowls and tight apertures; figures share the same cut-corner geometry for a cohesive alphanumeric texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event titles, sports and team branding, packaging labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for UI headers, game/tech graphics, and bold titling where a rugged, geometric voice is desired.
The faceted, cut-metal geometry gives the face an industrial, utilitarian tone with a sporty edge. Its blunt massing and sharp angles read as confident and mechanical, evoking equipment labeling, arcade-era graphics, and performance branding rather than softness or elegance.
The design intention appears to be delivering maximum impact with an engineered, faceted silhouette that stays legible under heavy weight. By trading roundness for chamfered planes and tight proportions, it aims to project strength and precision while maintaining a consistent, modular feel across letters and numbers.
The rhythm is tight and vertical, with prominent diagonals and chamfers that create a consistent sparkle across lines of text. Distinctive angular forms in letters like S, G, and the diagonals in K and X reinforce the geometric theme, and the numerals match the same engineered silhouette for strong display cohesion.
