A heavy, block-built display sans with crisp chamfered corners and faceted curves that read as planar cuts rather than smooth rounds. Strokes are uniformly thick with squared terminals, giving the letters a solid, stenciled-block presence without actual breaks. Counters are tight and geometric (notably in O, P, R, and 8), and many forms rely on straight segments and clipped corners to suggest curvature. Proportions lean broad and stable, with a consistent cap rhythm and sturdy verticals; the lowercase follows the same architectural logic with compact bowls and simplified joins.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and branding where a strong geometric voice is desired. It works particularly well for sports identities, event graphics, product packaging, and UI/label-style titling where the faceted, blocky construction reads as durable and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage and equipment labeling while also nodding to retro athletic and arcade-era aesthetics. Its faceted geometry feels engineered and tough, projecting confidence and impact rather than softness or friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged, engineered feel, replacing curves with clipped facets to create a distinctive, industrial display voice. It prioritizes a consistent, hard-edged texture and strong silhouette for short text and branding applications.
The cut-corner motif is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, producing a cohesive "machined" texture in words and lines of text. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and compact apertures can darken quickly, while at headline sizes the facets become a defining stylistic detail.
