A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chamfered corners that turn curves into crisp planes. The forms are broadly proportioned with squared counters and a generally uniform, monoline feel, while subtle width differences across letters keep the texture from becoming purely modular. Terminals are flat and clipped, with consistent octagonal shaping across rounds like C, G, O, and Q; lowercase follows the same architecture, with a tall, sturdy x-height and simplified joins that favor solidity over delicacy. Numerals are similarly geometric and squared-off, maintaining the same cut-corner rhythm for a cohesive, poster-forward silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where its faceted geometry can read cleanly and set an energetic tone. It fits sports identities, event graphics, signage, and punchy packaging where high-impact letterforms and sturdy numerals are a priority.
The overall tone is loud, tough, and sports-forward, with a retro varsity/scoreboard flavor tempered by an industrial, machined edge. Its faceted geometry reads confident and no-nonsense, projecting strength and impact rather than refinement.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive faceted construction, replacing conventional curves with clipped planes for a rugged, athletic-industrial voice. The consistent chamfer system suggests an intention to keep shapes cohesive and highly recognizable in large-scale applications.
The dense, angular construction creates strong figure/ground at display sizes, and the consistent corner-cut motif helps maintain recognition even when counters get tight. In running text the weight and broad shapes produce an emphatic, compact color, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing.
