A heavy, block-built sans with chamfered corners and crisp planar cuts that replace curves with octagonal facets. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with squared terminals and consistently clipped joins that create a hard-edged rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are tight and mostly rectilinear, giving letters a dense, compact internal space; diagonals are minimized in favor of straight segments and notched transitions. Uppercase forms read as solid slabs, while lowercase keeps the same faceted construction with simplified bowls and sturdy stems; figures follow the same cut-corner geometry for a uniform, signage-like set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, team or event branding, labels, and packaging where bold geometry can carry the layout. It also works well for display text in gaming or industrial-themed UI and for numeric-heavy applications like scoreboards, badges, and merch graphics.
The faceted construction and weighty silhouettes evoke utilitarian strength and a game-like, competitive energy. It feels assertive and technical, with a retro arcade and sports-numbering flavor that prioritizes impact over softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch using a consistent chamfered, planar vocabulary—turning traditional curves into clipped facets for a rugged, engineered look that remains clean and sans-driven.
The many clipped corners create strong highlight-like edges, helping characters hold shape in tight tracking and at distance. Because interior apertures are small, the design tends to read best when given sufficient size, spacing, or contrast against its background.
