A heavy, geometric sans with straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners that replace most curves with crisp planar facets. Round letters and numerals resolve into octagonal bowls, while diagonals are clean and consistent, giving the alphabet a rugged, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and angular, terminals are blunt, and the overall silhouette stays tight and sturdy, with clear separation between forms at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where its angular texture can read as a deliberate style choice. It works well for logos, labels, wayfinding, and sports or industrial-themed graphics, especially when set large or with comfortable tracking to keep counters open.
The faceted construction conveys a tough, utilitarian tone that feels mechanical and sport-oriented. Its hard angles and compressed counters create an assertive, no-nonsense voice with a subtle retro-industrial flavor, like signage cut from metal or molded into equipment.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a sans skeleton into a faceted, machine-cut aesthetic, prioritizing impact and graphic uniformity. The consistent chamfers and octagonal rounds suggest an intention to evoke engineered surfaces and rugged signage while remaining broadly legible.
The design leans on repeated chamfer angles for cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a consistent “cut-corner” motif. The sample text shows strong color on the line and clear word shapes, but the dense interior spaces suggest it benefits from generous sizing and spacing for longer passages.
