A heavy, block-built display sans with faceted, cut-corner construction that replaces curves with straight planar segments. Bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal shapes, with consistent diagonal chamfers at corners and minimal stroke modulation. Counters are compact and often squared-off, terminals are blunt, and the overall silhouette is tightly packed, producing strong, high-impact word shapes. Lowercase forms mirror the same angular logic and maintain a large x-height, while numerals follow the same clipped, geometric scheme for a unified set.
Best suited for posters, headlines, logos, and short callouts where maximum impact and geometric personality are desired. It performs particularly well for sports and esports branding, event graphics, and packaging or labels that benefit from a rugged, industrial tone.
The face projects a tough, mechanical energy with a sporty, varsity-like swagger. Its faceted geometry reads as bold and assertive, with a slightly playful edge that can feel retro-futuristic or game-like depending on color and layout.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, instantly recognizable display voice by translating classic sans proportions into a faceted, cut-corner geometry. The consistent chamfer system suggests an intention to evoke machined metal, signage, or athletic lettering while staying clean and sans in construction.
The letterforms rely on consistent corner chamfers and straight segments, creating a rhythmic, stencil-like faceting without actual breaks in strokes. Dense counters and sharp joins make the texture especially strong in all-caps settings and short lines, where the angular silhouettes carry most of the character.
