An outlined, monoline display face built from straight segments and chamfered corners, giving most glyphs an octagonal, stencil-like silhouette. Strokes are rendered as a single, consistent contour with open counters and no interior fill, producing a crisp wireframe look. Uppercase forms are squared and compact with clipped terminals, while the lowercase follows the same geometry with simplified bowls and angular joins. Figures echo the same faceted construction, with a particularly polygonal zero and sharply cornered 2–3–5 shapes.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where the outlined construction can stay legible and graphic. It works well for sports branding, team numbers, event posters, game/arcade UI moments, and bold signage where a faceted, athletic voice is desired.
The overall tone is sporty and retro-futuristic, recalling jersey lettering, arcade interfaces, and industrial labeling. Its faceted outlines feel energetic and utilitarian, balancing a playful throwback character with a clean, engineered discipline.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable, cut-corner block aesthetic in an outline-only treatment. The consistent chamfering and straight-edged geometry suggest a goal of creating a cohesive, modular display face that feels sporty and technical while remaining lightweight in presence.
Because the design is purely outline, visual color depends heavily on stroke rendering and background contrast; it reads best at larger sizes where the inner and outer contours stay distinct. Angular joins and chamfers create a steady, mechanical rhythm across lines of text, with a consistent “cut corner” motif that ties letters and numerals together.
