A heavy, block-built sans with a faceted, octagonal construction. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing consistent chamfers on rounds and diagonals. Strokes stay uniform in thickness, with tight apertures and sturdy counters that read clearly at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same planar logic, and figures adopt the same cut-corner geometry for a cohesive, sign-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong geometric stamp is desired. It works well for sports identities, event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI or signage moments that need quick, high-contrast recognition at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and forceful, with a sporty, hard-edged attitude. Its faceted geometry evokes stenciled labeling and varsity-inspired lettering, giving it a rugged, utilitarian confidence that feels energetic and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to translate a carved, machined, or cut-letter aesthetic into a clean, repeatable system. By standardizing chamfers and flattening curves into facets, it aims to deliver maximum impact and a distinctive industrial-sport voice while staying straightforward to set and align in display typography.
The repeated corner cuts create a strong texture in running text, especially where verticals and diagonals stack closely. The design favors straight-sided forms and compact interior spaces, which amplifies density and impact in headlines and short phrases.
