A compact, block-built display face with tight proportions and aggressively chiseled geometry. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing octagonal counters and faceted outer silhouettes. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with crisp terminals and a consistent, planar rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase follows the same rigid construction as the caps, emphasizing verticality and dense texture in setting.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where its dense, angular texture can carry impact. It works especially well for sports branding, event posters, bold packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a rugged, engineered feel. For longer reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, stamped quality that reads as tough and purposeful. Its angular facets and compressed stance evoke retro sports lettering and industrial signage, giving text an assertive, high-impact presence.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint while maintaining a strict, geometric system. The faceted construction suggests an intention to echo carved, stamped, or machined letterforms and to project strength and durability in display typography.
The faceting creates distinctive notches at joins and corners, which adds visual noise at smaller sizes but strengthens character at headline scale. Numerals share the same clipped geometry, helping mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive and uniform.
