A heavy, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted strokes that replace most curves with short diagonal cuts. Forms are compact and squared-off, with mostly uniform stroke weight and minimal optical modulation. Counters tend to be rectangular or octagonal, creating a tight, mechanical rhythm, and the joins are crisp and planar rather than rounded. Lowercase echoes the same geometry, with sturdy bowls and short terminals, keeping texture dense and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where the angular facets can read clearly. It fits sports branding, product packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a tough, mechanical voice. For longer text, it will be more effective in short bursts or larger sizes due to its dense, heavy texture.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking sports lettering, industrial labeling, and bold poster typography. Its faceted construction adds a rugged, engineered feel that reads as confident and energetic rather than delicate or formal.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact, faceted construction—capturing the feel of chamfered industrial forms while maintaining straightforward sans structure. The consistent corner treatment suggests an intention to translate traditional bold block lettering into a more angular, engineered aesthetic.
The design language is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with repeated corner chamfers giving the family a cohesive “cut metal” look. Narrow apertures and thick joins create strong silhouettes and high impact, while the simplified geometry keeps word shapes steady in all-caps settings.
