A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal cuts. The shapes are compact and sturdy with mostly uniform stroke weight, squared terminals, and tight interior counters that read as punched-out voids. Proportions skew tall with a large x-height and short extenders, while widths vary by letter to keep the rhythm even in text. Diagonals are sharp and structural, and joins stay crisp, giving the alphabet a hard-edged, modular feel.
Best suited to bold display work such as headlines, posters, event branding, and logo wordmarks where its angular facets can carry the design. It also fits sportswear graphics, team numbers, industrial-themed packaging, and strong UI labels used sparingly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with a competitive, high-impact voice that suggests sports numbering, machinery labels, or arcade-era display graphics. Its faceted geometry feels technical and no-nonsense, trading friendliness for authority and punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a rugged, machined geometry—using chamfered corners and straight-sided forms to evoke stenciled hardware, scoreboard type, and assertive branding.
The chamfering is consistently applied across rounds, corners, and diagonals, creating a coherent ‘cut metal’ silhouette. Counters in letters like O, P, R, and the figures are small and angular, emphasizing density and making the font feel best at larger sizes where the interior openings remain clear.
