A compact, all-caps-forward display sans built from sharp planar facets instead of true curves. Strokes are heavy and fairly even, with corners chamfered and counters simplified into squarish openings. Many glyphs show intentional cut-ins and small voids that mimic worn ink or stencil breaks, creating a distressed, printed texture while keeping strong letter silhouettes. Spacing feels tight and rhythmic, with slightly irregular widths across characters that reinforces a mechanical, constructed look.
Well suited to display roles such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and wayfinding-style signage where impact and a rugged tone are desired. It can also support sports or team branding and event graphics, particularly when paired with simple secondary text that balances its textured, angular voice.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking industrial labeling, military hardware, and rugged packaging. The faceted geometry adds a hard-edged, engineered attitude, while the subtle distressing brings a vintage, work-worn authenticity rather than a pristine digital finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, high-impact sans with faceted construction and a lightly distressed finish—prioritizing strong silhouettes and an industrial, stamped/printed feel for attention-grabbing display typography.
In longer text, the distressed nicks remain visible and become part of the texture, so the face reads best when size and contrast are sufficient to prevent the breaks from filling in. The sharp joins and squared forms keep the alphabet highly directional and graphic, especially in headlines and short bursts.
