A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from sharp, planar facets rather than smooth curves. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear in feel, with corners clipped into beveled angles that give letters an octagonal, machined silhouette. Counters are small and geometric, spacing is tight, and the overall rhythm is punchy and compact, with slightly irregular, hand-cut edges that keep it from feeling purely mechanical. Numerals and capitals read especially solid and emblematic, while lowercase retains the same faceted construction with sturdy stems and simplified joins.
Best suited for headlines, posters, team or event branding, and logo marks where a rugged, faceted silhouette can carry the design. It also works well on packaging, badges, and signage that benefits from a bold, carved-looking voice.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing a sports-signage toughness with a frontier/old-poster bite. Its chiseled geometry conveys strength and impact, suggesting tradition, grit, and high-contrast branding rather than neutrality or refinement.
Likely intended as an attention-grabbing display font that replaces curves with beveled planes to create a carved, emblematic texture. The design emphasizes sturdy mass, compact spacing, and strong shapes for branding and titling applications.
The face relies on strong silhouettes and small internal openings, which amplifies impact at large sizes but can reduce clarity in dense text blocks. The faceting is consistent across rounds and diagonals, creating a distinctive “cut” look that feels carved or stamped.
