A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and multi-sided bowls. Forms feel compact and sturdy, with broad verticals, squared terminals, and consistent stroke thickness that keeps counters clear even in dense settings. Rounds such as O, C, and G read as faceted polygons, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are clean and mechanically precise. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, yielding a cohesive, sign-ready texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where a strong, angular voice is desired. It works well for sports and team branding, product packaging, equipment labels, and directional or informational signage where the faceted forms read quickly and project durability.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-marking energy that also leans into retro-futurist and tactical aesthetics. Its faceted construction conveys engineered precision and a no-nonsense attitude, making text feel assertive and purpose-built rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to translate a machined, chamfered visual language into a straightforward sans, emphasizing sturdy silhouettes and consistent geometry. By converting curves into planar facets, it aims to deliver a distinctive, high-impact texture that remains readable in display sizes and branding contexts.
The faceting is applied consistently across the set, giving the font a distinctive “cut metal” look while maintaining legibility through generous counters and clear interior angles. The lowercase echoes the uppercase’s angular grammar, helping mixed-case text retain a uniform, industrial rhythm.
