A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared, octagonal contours and frequent chamfered corners. Strokes stay uniform and dense, producing small, rectangular counters and tight interior spaces, especially in letters like B, O, P, and R. Many glyphs show intentional notches and clipped terminals that create a segmented, almost cut-out feeling, while curves are largely minimized in favor of straight runs and hard angles. Overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with sturdy verticals and blunt horizontals that keep word shapes bold and geometric.
Best suited to display settings where impact and immediacy are priorities—posters, bold headlines, packaging callouts, team or event graphics, and game or arcade-style interfaces. It performs particularly well when set large, where the cut corners and compact counters read as intentional detailing rather than visual noise.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian energy with a strong hint of sports numbering, industrial labeling, and arcade-era display type. Its notched geometry reads as engineered and mechanical, giving it a rugged, assertive tone rather than a friendly or neutral one.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a hard-edged, machined silhouette, borrowing cues from athletic jersey lettering and industrial signage. The consistent chamfers and notches appear intended to create a distinctive, branded texture while keeping the overall structure simple and robust.
The angular construction and tight counters can reduce clarity at small sizes, but the distinctive corner cuts and consistent geometry make it highly recognizable. Numerals match the same octagonal, cut-corner logic, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like system across letters and figures.
