A heavy, block-built sans with faceted construction that replaces curves with angled cuts and flattened corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, with squared terminals and crisp interior notches that create an octagonal rhythm across bowls and joins. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, producing dense color and strong silhouette clarity at display sizes. The set feels engineered and consistent, with straightforward geometry and minimal modulation beyond the repeated chamfering.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, merch graphics, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for labels, badges, and signage where a rugged, geometric voice is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve the tight counters.
The face projects a tough, no-nonsense tone—confident, sporty, and slightly retro. Its sharp facets and dense weight read as utilitarian and high-impact, giving text a stamped, equipment-label energy rather than a delicate or editorial feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch through simplified, angular letterforms that stay coherent under heavy weight. By standardizing chamfered corners and minimizing curves, it aims for a mechanical, sporty display presence that remains legible and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Angled corner treatments appear systematically on both outer corners and interior apertures, creating a distinctive “cut-metal” effect. The numerals share the same faceted logic, with sturdy shapes and tight openings that reinforce the font’s compact, poster-forward color.
