A compact, blocky sans with sharply chamfered corners that turn curves into crisp planar facets. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with squared terminals and consistent right-angle construction throughout. Counters tend toward polygonal shapes (notably in O/0/8/9), and diagonals are restrained and sturdy, giving the design a rigid, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms echo the same faceted geometry with a single-storey a and g, while figures are tall and sign-like with strong, cut-corner silhouettes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and identity work where its strong, faceted silhouettes can read at a glance. It also fits wayfinding, packaging, and labeling contexts that benefit from a rugged, industrial voice, as well as sports or team-style branding and bold logo wordmarks.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with an industrial, machine-made character. Its faceted construction suggests durability and precision, evoking varsity lettering, equipment labeling, and retro digital or arcade-era signage without leaning into softness or ornament.
The font appears designed to translate a straightforward sans structure into a chiseled, cut-corner aesthetic that stays consistent across letters and numbers. The emphasis is on impact, uniformity, and geometric clarity, prioritizing a sturdy texture over smooth curves or calligraphic nuance.
The design maintains a consistent chamfer size and corner logic across rounds and joints, which creates a cohesive texture in text settings. Interior spaces stay open enough for clarity at display sizes, while the heavy, angular forms produce a dense, high-contrast word shape in longer lines.
