A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions and prominent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette across many glyphs. Strokes are mostly rectilinear and monoline in feel, with localized cut-ins and notches that introduce sharp internal angles and occasional stepped joins. Counters are small and often rectangular, and terminals tend to finish flat with clipped corners rather than curves. The rhythm is compact and punchy, with simplified curves (e.g., rounded forms rendered as faceted bowls) and a consistent, engineered geometry that holds together well in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouette and geometric edge detail can be appreciated—posters, headlines, badges, product marks, and sports or team-style branding. It also works well for short labels and packaging callouts where a compact, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sports identity systems, and retro arcade or machinery aesthetics. Its faceted corners and carved-in details add a slightly aggressive, armored feel that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a faceted, hard-edged construction that references engineered forms and cut metal while staying clean and sans in structure. Its consistent chamfer language and carved counters suggest a deliberate aim for bold, emblematic typography rather than extended reading.
The lowercase follows the same block logic as the uppercase rather than a text-oriented construction, making mixed-case feel like a display style. The cut-in notches and tight apertures add character at larger sizes but can visually fill in when tightly spaced or used very small, so generous tracking and clear size choices help preserve the distinctive interior shapes.
