A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, octagonal-like facets. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat or angled, giving letters a machined, cut-from-plate feel. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with squared counters (notably in O, Q, and D), while lowercase keeps the same faceted logic with compact bowls and simplified joins. The overall rhythm is dense and sturdy, with clear, high-contrast silhouettes driven more by corner geometry than by curvature.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and product or packaging graphics where the faceted silhouettes can carry visual identity. It also fits labels, UI headings, and signage-style applications that benefit from a rugged, engineered voice.
The typeface projects a sporty, industrial tone—confident, functional, and slightly futuristic. Its sharp facets and blocky construction evoke equipment markings, team identifiers, and engineered products rather than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust sans with a distinctive faceted construction—prioritizing strong silhouettes, fast recognition, and an industrial/sport-oriented personality through consistent chamfers and squared counters.
Numerals follow the same chamfered vocabulary, with squared interiors and clipped angles that keep figures consistent at a glance. The lowercase retains a strong, sturdy presence, and the angled cuts create distinctive corner highlights that can read as "athletic" or "tactical" in display use.
