A heavy, geometric sans built from sharp planar cuts that replace curves with crisp chamfers and octagonal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with straight terminals, producing a compact, blocky silhouette and a steady rhythm in text. Round letters like O and C read as faceted polygons, while joins and diagonals (notably in K, M, N, V, W, Y) are clean and emphatic. Lowercase forms stay sturdy and simplified, with squarish bowls and minimal modulation, and numerals follow the same cut-corner logic for a cohesive, engineered look.
Best suited for display use where its angular silhouettes and heavy color can lead: headlines, logos, team or esports identities, posters, and impactful packaging. It also works well for short UI labels, signage, or titles where a rugged, technical feel is desired and letterforms need to stay bold and unmistakable.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a sporty, utilitarian edge. Its sharp geometry suggests precision and durability, evoking everything from industrial labeling to retro arcade or sci‑fi interfaces. The bold massing and faceted shapes give it an assertive, no‑nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to translate a bold sans into a faceted, manufactured aesthetic, using chamfered corners and polygonal counters to create a consistent, high-impact system. It aims for immediate recognizability and a hard-edged personality rather than neutral text invisibility.
The faceting creates distinctive interior shapes (especially in O/0, Q, 8, and 9) that can become a strong brand motif at larger sizes. In longer passages, the dense, squared forms prioritize impact over softness, making spacing and size choices important for comfortable reading.
