A heavy, blocky sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight facets. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and joins are crisp, producing a carved, machined look. Proportions are broad and stable with sturdy verticals and minimal stroke modulation, keeping the texture dense and highly graphic in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, apparel graphics, packaging, and logotypes where a tough, geometric tone is desired. It can work well for sports branding, event promotions, game/arcade-inspired visuals, and bold wayfinding or short labels. For longer passages, it’s most effective when given generous tracking and ample size to keep the dense forms from feeling too heavy.
This face projects a confident, hard-edged attitude with a sporty, no-nonsense voice. The faceted cuts and heavy color give it an assertive, poster-forward energy that feels industrial and slightly arcade-like rather than refined or literary.
The design appears intended to maximize impact at display sizes while maintaining clear, sturdy letter silhouettes. Its faceted geometry suggests a deliberate ‘cut’ aesthetic—like stencil-less industrial lettering or beveled forms—aimed at creating a bold, graphic identity with strong presence.
The uppercase set reads especially solid and architectural, while the lowercase retains the same faceted logic, keeping mixed-case typography consistent. Numerals are similarly block-built, matching the overall rugged, cut-corner motif for cohesive titling and numbering.
