A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply faceted corners and planar cuts that replace curves, producing octagonal counters and clipped terminals throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact apertures and tightly shaped bowls that keep the silhouette bold and contiguous. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic as the caps, yielding sturdy, squared forms with minimal modulation and a consistent, carved-in feel. Numerals echo the same chamfered geometry, reading clearly through strong outer shapes and simplified internal spaces.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, event titles, sports or esports identity, bold packaging callouts, and strong wayfinding or signage where high visual mass is an advantage. It can work for short subheads or labels, but longer text benefits from generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a mechanical, workmanlike presence that feels at home in utilitarian and competitive contexts. Its faceted construction adds a subtle industrial edge, giving the face a vintage poster and team-mark energy without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through solid, simplified forms while adding character via consistent chamfered cuts. Its geometry suggests a goal of evoking cut-metal, stamped, or varsity-inspired lettering in a clean sans framework.
Because the counters and apertures are relatively tight, the design gains impact at headline sizes and in short words, where the angular silhouettes carry best. The faceting creates a distinctive rhythm across lines, especially in rounded letters (C, G, O, S) where corners emphasize the cut-metal aesthetic.
