A heavy, blocky sans with crisp, planar facets that replace curves with clipped corners and straight segments. Strokes are mostly uniform and rectangular, with squared terminals and frequent octagonal shaping on bowls and corners. Counters are narrow and often appear as vertical slots, giving the letters a dense, stencil-like solidity while keeping forms legible. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic with a tall, sturdy build and minimal differentiation in stroke behavior across the set.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or team branding, logotypes, and packaging where bold shapes and sharp geometry are an advantage. It can work for labels and display text in larger sizes, especially where a rugged, mechanical feel is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking athletic jersey lettering, equipment labeling, and hard-edged industrial graphics. Its faceted construction reads as engineered and rugged, with a retro-tech flavor that feels assertive and no-nonsense.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch through dense fills, narrow counters, and a consistent faceted construction. The emphasis is on an engineered, chiseled look that stays readable while projecting strength and durability.
The design favors straight-sided geometry and clipped diagonals, producing strong horizontal rhythm and a compact, impactful texture in text. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly faceted silhouettes and tight internal openings.
