A compact, heavy sans with a strongly geometric construction and faceted, chamfered corners that replace most curves with clipped planes. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing dark, rectangular counters and a consistent, poster-like color. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) read as octagonal forms, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharply cut and tightly spaced. Lowercase follows the same engineered logic with tall ascenders, short joins, and simple terminals, keeping the texture firm and highly regular across lines.
Best suited for large-scale headlines, posters, and branding where a hard-edged, energetic voice is needed. It works well for sports identities, event graphics, merchandise, and packaging that benefits from a compact, punchy word shape. Use in short bursts for maximum impact, especially in all caps or bold titling.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an athletic, team-jersey edge and a rugged, no-nonsense presence. The faceted silhouettes suggest hard materials—metal plates or cut vinyl—giving it a tactical, industrial confidence. Its blunt shapes also carry a retro sign-paint and scoreboard flavor, making it feel bold and declarative rather than delicate or conversational.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width while maintaining a consistent, engineered rhythm. The faceted corner treatment provides a distinctive signature that stays cohesive across letters and numerals, aiming for rugged clarity in display typography.
The numerals share the same chamfered geometry, staying compact and sturdy for high-impact labeling. Because the design leans on squared counters and tight apertures, it reads most clearly at display sizes where the angular detailing has room to breathe.
