A condensed, heavy sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with faceted angles. Strokes are largely uniform and verticals dominate, creating a rigid, engineered rhythm with squared terminals and clipped joins. Counters tend toward rectangular or octagonal shapes, and round letters like C, O, and G are built from straight segments, giving the face a distinctly mechanical silhouette. The lowercase follows the same angular system, with compact bowls and short, squared-off shoulders; figures are similarly blocky and stencil-like in construction without actual breaks.
Works best for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, signage, apparel graphics, and sports or event branding where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It also suits labels and packaging that benefit from an industrial, machined aesthetic.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking sports titling, industrial labeling, and military/technical graphics. Its sharp facets and dense color feel assertive and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro scoreboard or varsity edge.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow width while maintaining a consistent, faceted geometry. The clipped corners and straight-segment construction appear intended to project a modern-industrial feel and to keep forms crisp and legible in bold, all-caps applications.
At text sizes the angular “pseudo-curves” read crisp and architectural, while at larger sizes the faceting becomes a prominent stylistic feature. The condensed proportions support tight headlines, but the dark weight and tight interior spaces suggest better performance in display settings than long passages.
