A compact, heavy all-caps style built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, faceted geometry. Counters tend to be squared or octagonal, and joins are blunt and planar, giving letters a machined, cut-from-plate feel. The lowercase follows the same angular logic with simplified bowls and short, sturdy terminals; overall spacing reads tight and efficient, and the numerals echo the same hard-edged construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where an angular, high-impact look is desired. It also fits well for sports or team identities, bold packaging callouts, and short UI labels or signage where quick recognition and a rugged aesthetic matter more than delicate typographic nuance.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a utilitarian, equipment-marking character. Its sharp facets and dense silhouettes suggest strength, impact, and a no-nonsense voice that feels at home in sporty or industrial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dense, straight-edged forms and consistent corner chamfers, trading softness and calligraphic detail for a disciplined, engineered look. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and a repeatable geometric system that remains recognizable across letters and numbers.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/X/Y) are wide and weighty, creating strong dark rhythm in text, while interior apertures stay relatively small for a punchy, compact texture. The faceting is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, which helps the set feel cohesive in both display lines and short labels.
