A heavy, block-based sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight segments. The forms are built from broad vertical and horizontal strokes with minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact silhouette. Counters and apertures are mostly rectangular or octagonal, and several glyphs include small internal notches and irregular cuts that give a worn, stamped feel. Spacing reads sturdy and compact, with a consistent, squared-off rhythm that stays legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where bold presence and angular texture are an asset: headlines, posters, event promos, team or athletic graphics, rugged product packaging, and branding that wants an industrial or hard-edged tone. It can also work for short labels and UI badges when sizes are large enough to keep the internal cuts from clogging.
The typeface projects a tough, utilitarian energy—part industrial signage, part sports/varsity toughness—with an edge of distressed grit. Its sharp facets and cut-in details create a sense of force and mechanical precision while still feeling roughened and workmanlike.
Likely designed to translate a faceted, machined geometry into a compact display sans, adding small distressed cuts to avoid a purely geometric feel and to evoke stamped or worn signage. The goal appears to be strong recognizability and impact, with consistent planar construction across the set.
Diagonal joins are simplified into planar facets, which keeps the texture uniform across letters like C/G/O/Q and across numerals. The distressed cuts are subtle but noticeable in filled areas, adding texture without fully breaking the letter skeletons. The overall color on the page is very dark and even, favoring short headlines over long passages.
