A heavy, blocky sans with sharply faceted construction and chamfered corners replacing most curves. Strokes stay uniform and dense, with tightly cut counters and small apertures that emphasize a solid, stamped silhouette. The lowercase echoes the uppercase’s geometry with simplified bowls and clipped terminals, while diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y form strong, planar joins. Numerals follow the same chiseled logic, reading like cut-out shapes with consistent corner notches and sturdy proportions.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, badges, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for packaging and apparel graphics where a rugged, cut-metal look helps the type carry visual authority, while longer text benefits from generous sizing and spacing.
The overall tone feels tough and competitive, like sports lettering or industrial labeling, but the exaggerated facets also add a cartoonish, game-like edge. It projects confidence and impact, with a slightly retro, varsity-inspired flavor that reads loud and unapologetic.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of stencil-cut or carved display lettering into a clean sans framework, prioritizing bold presence and a consistent faceted motif. Its forms aim for instant recognizability and strong silhouettes that hold up in branding and large-format display.
The rhythm is driven by repeated corner cuts and flat-sided curves, creating a recognizable pattern across rounds (C, O, G, Q) and straights (E, F, L, T). In text, the dense weight and compact interior spaces make it best at larger sizes, where the angular details and distinctive counters remain clear.
