This font is built from heavy, squared forms with consistent chamfered corners that create an octagonal, plaque-like silhouette around counters and outer edges. Letterforms are tightly proportioned with compact apertures, rectangular counters, and frequent internal cut-ins that read as deliberate carve-outs rather than smooth curves. Strokes are predominantly vertical and horizontal, with sharp diagonal joins used for corner chamfers and angled terminals. The overall texture is dense and rhythmic, with strong cell-like spacing in the sample text and clear, modular geometry across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for display contexts where its blocky geometry and cutout interiors can be appreciated—headlines, poster titling, logo marks, badges, and sports or team-style branding. It also works well for packaging, labels, and short UI/arcade-style titles where a compact, stamped aesthetic is desired. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is bold and emblematic, evoking sports signage, industrial labeling, and arcade-era display lettering. Its cutout detailing and hard angles give it a tough, manufactured feel that reads confident and attention-grabbing. The inverted, punched-out look adds a graphic, stamp-like character that feels energetic and slightly retro.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display face that merges varsity-style slab geometry with industrial cutout detailing. By faceting curves into chamfered corners and using inset voids, it aims to deliver a rugged, emblem-ready look that reproduces well as bold shapes in signage and branding.
Many glyphs emphasize a framed or inset impression through inner voids and notched detailing, producing a distinctive “carved” effect at larger sizes. Curved letters are largely squared off, and round shapes (like O/0/8/9) become faceted, reinforcing a unified octagonal motif. In running text, the strong black mass and small openings can make the interior details read as texture, especially at smaller sizes.
