A heavy, block-constructed sans with aggressively chamfered corners that turn curves into crisp facets. Counters are compact and often polygonal, and the stroke terminals are flat and square, creating a dense, poster-like color on the page. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic as the caps, with simplified bowls and clipped joints; the single-storey forms (e.g., a, g) read as sturdy, modular shapes. Numerals are similarly faceted, with an octagonal “0” and broad, stable silhouettes designed for impact.
Best suited for headlines, logos, badges, and bold typographic statements where the faceted geometry can read cleanly. It works especially well for sports or team-style branding, impactful packaging fronts, and signage that benefits from strong, blocky letterforms.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking varsity signage, equipment labeling, and no-nonsense industrial graphics. Its sharp facets and tight apertures give it a rugged, engineered feel with a distinctly retro display energy.
The design appears intended to translate traditional bold sans proportions into a faceted, chamfered system that feels robust and mechanical. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a distinctive angular identity over open, text-oriented readability.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, producing a coherent “cut metal” rhythm. Interior spaces can get tight in letters like a/e/s and in dense text, so the design favors larger sizes where the angular details remain clear.
