A heavy, block-built sans with strongly chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal counters that replace round curves. Strokes are uniform and straight-sided, with frequent 45° cuts at terminals and joins, giving the alphabet a rigid, machined silhouette. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with a tall lowercase that keeps words dense and highly legible at display sizes; numerals follow the same hard-edged geometry for a consistent set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where its faceted geometry can be appreciated at larger sizes. It fits sports and team contexts, product marks with an industrial or tactical angle, and short, high-contrast signage or labels where quick recognition matters.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a competitive, scoreboard-like presence. Its sharp facets and chunky mass read as tough, mechanical, and no-nonsense—more about impact and clarity than softness or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact using a simplified, planar construction language. By swapping curves for crisp chamfers and keeping counters open and geometric, it aims for rugged clarity and a distinctive, athletic-industrial voice.
The face maintains a tight rhythm in text through consistent corner treatments and squared punctuation-like detailing. Angular joins in letters such as K, V, W, and X emphasize a constructed, stencil-adjacent feel without introducing fragile details.
