A heavy, block-constructed sans with corners cut into consistent chamfers, replacing curves with short planar facets. Strokes are uniform and squared off, producing octagonal counters in rounded letters and digits, and a strongly modular, grid-fit silhouette. The lowercase is compact and geometric, with single-storey forms and simplified terminals; the overall rhythm is tight and even, emphasizing sturdy verticals and flat horizontals.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and bold labels where the angular silhouette can carry the design. It also works well for sports branding and game or tech interfaces that benefit from a rugged, modular word shape. In longer text blocks it creates a dense, emphatic texture, so generous spacing and larger sizes help maintain clarity.
The faceted geometry reads as tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, team-jersey directness and a distinctly digital, arcade-adjacent flavor. Its blunt shapes and crisp corners feel engineered and no-nonsense, leaning toward high-impact messaging rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a consistent chamfered construction, translating rounded forms into faceted geometry for a robust, engineered look. It prioritizes uniformity and modularity to produce a strong, repeatable texture across letters and numerals.
Counters tend to be rectangular or octagonal, and diagonals appear as stepped facets rather than smooth joins. The design’s consistent chamfer language creates strong texture in paragraphs, especially where repeated verticals and squared punctuation reinforce a mechanical cadence.
