A heavy, condensed display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Letterforms are tall and compact with rectangular counters and squared terminals, creating a tight, vertical rhythm. The construction is consistently geometric and monolinear in feel, with prominent chamfers at outer corners and inside joins (notably in C, G, S, and 2/3), giving the shapes an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette. Spacing appears firm and uniform, and the numerals match the caps in density and stance for a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to short, bold applications where a strong silhouette is needed: headlines, posters, team or event branding, badges, packaging, and high-impact labeling. It will hold up well in large sizes and simple layouts where its tight forms and faceted corners can be read cleanly.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a machined, utilitarian edge. Its faceted geometry reads as sporty and industrial at once, evoking scoreboard lettering, stenciled labeling, and hard-edged retro display typography. The density and sharp corners add a commanding, slightly aggressive presence suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a crisp, engineered look. Its consistent corner-cut motif suggests an intention to modernize block lettering with a distinctive, hard-surfaced geometry that stays legible and uniform across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design relies on repeated chamfer angles to unify the set, which helps maintain clarity despite the condensed widths. Round letters are intentionally squared off, and the small interior apertures and counters create a dark, compact color that benefits from generous size and breathing room.
