A heavy, block-constructed sans with chamfered corners and faceted, planar cuts that replace most curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, high-impact letterforms and a steady texture. Uppercase shapes are compact and squared, with octagonal counters in round letters like O and Q, while lowercase maintains similar geometry with simplified bowls and straight terminals. Spacing appears slightly tight and the overall rhythm is uniform, emphasizing solid silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited to short, high-visibility copy such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and bold packaging labels. It can also work for signage or UI moments that need strong emphasis, especially when set with generous leading to keep dense strokes from feeling crowded.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a sporty, utilitarian edge. Its angular facets and slabby massing evoke equipment markings, team apparel, and bold signage, giving it an energetic, competitive feel that can also read as rugged and industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified geometry and faceted corner treatments, creating a strong, reproducible silhouette. By minimizing curvature and keeping stroke weight consistent, it aims for confident legibility and a distinctive, rugged display voice.
Digits follow the same faceted construction, with squared-off curves and clipped diagonals that keep forms crisp at display sizes. The lowercase includes sturdy, straightforward shapes (notably the single-storey a and compact e), reinforcing a cohesive, engineered look across text settings.
