A heavy, monoline display sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing most curves with planar facets. Round forms like O, C, and G read as octagonal or multi-sided shapes, giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered geometry. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady with squared terminals, while the lowercase is simplified and compact, with single-storey forms and minimal counters that stay clear at display sizes. The figures follow the same faceted construction, with angular bowls and clipped joints that keep rhythm tight and uniform.
Best suited to headlines, marks, and short text where its angular construction can read clearly and add character. It works well for sports identities, product packaging, tech-themed graphics, and bold signage applications; for longer passages it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and competitive sports graphics. Its sharp facets and blocky presence feel modern and functional, with a subtle retro arcade or athletic edge depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, contemporary display voice by translating sans-serif letterforms into a faceted, machined geometry. The consistent chamfers and polygonal curves suggest a goal of creating a distinctive, easily repeatable system for impactful branding and titling.
The font relies on decisive corner cuts and straight segments, creating strong diagonals in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y. Interior counters are relatively small but clean, and the consistent stroke weight gives words a dense, punchy texture in headlines and short lines.
