A heavy, block-built sans with faceted construction that replaces curves with crisp straight segments and chamfered corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing compact counters and strong dark mass, while the facets create small notches and clipped terminals that give each glyph an octagonal silhouette. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in places, with a consistent cap height and a pragmatic, sign-like rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks where the faceted geometry can read clearly. It also works well on packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from a sturdy, industrial presence.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with an engineered, machined look that reads as sporty and utilitarian. Its sharp facets add a retro-tech flavor, suggesting hard materials and stamped or cut lettering rather than pen- or brush-made forms.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, cut-corner construction, offering a harder-edged alternative to rounded display sans styles. The consistent faceting suggests a deliberate effort to evoke machined signage and rugged, built environments while remaining straightforward to set in all-caps and mixed case.
Legibility relies on distinctive corner cuts and squared apertures rather than open curves, making the face feel compact and dense at smaller sizes but very commanding when given space. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, keeping a cohesive, system-like texture across mixed text and figures.
