A heavy, squared sans with strongly chamfered corners that turn curves into planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick with large interior counters and minimal modulation, giving the letters a cut-from-solid, stencil-like robustness without actual breaks. Capitals are broad and straight-sided, while lowercase keeps a simple, geometric construction with single-storey forms and squared terminals. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with an especially boxed-in “0” and angular joins throughout.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports branding, labels, and bold signage where the angular silhouettes can be read quickly. It can also work for large-format UI moments (titles, hero banners) where a strong, industrial display voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, team-graphics confidence and a rugged, engineered feel. Its faceted geometry adds a retro-display character reminiscent of bold labeling and scoreboard-era lettering, reading as tough and direct rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity while replacing curves with crisp facets for a more technical, hard-edged personality. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent geometry, aiming for a recognizable display look that holds up in high-contrast, large-size applications.
Spacing appears generous for a display face, helping the dense shapes avoid clogging at larger sizes. The design maintains a consistent corner treatment across rounds and diagonals, creating a cohesive rhythm and a distinctive, mechanical silhouette in words and all-caps settings.
