A heavy, squared sans built from crisp, planar facets that replace curves with beveled corners and straight segments. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, and terminals often finish with clipped edges that create a machined, modular feel. The design maintains a consistent stroke weight with clear corner geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong, uniform color in text. Numerals and round letters (O, C, G, S) read as chamfered forms, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable, reinforcing the font’s sturdy rhythm.
Well suited to bold headings, athletic branding, jerseys and merchandise, and punchy poster typography where its chamfered geometry can read cleanly. It can also work for game titles, arcade-themed graphics, and UI labels that benefit from a rugged, technical look. For longer passages, it performs best in short bursts—subheads, callouts, and signage-style text—where the compact counters won’t feel crowded.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-label energy that also leans into retro digital and arcade aesthetics. Its faceted construction evokes engineered surfaces—like cut metal, molded plastic, or HUD-style lettering—giving it a purposeful, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a geometric, faceted construction that stays consistent across the set. By systematically chamfering corners and minimizing curves, it aims for a robust, manufactured look that remains legible while projecting strength and modernity.
Lowercase follows the same angular logic as the caps, with simplified shapes and minimal curvature; the single-storey forms and squared bowls keep the texture consistent at larger sizes. The tight internal spaces in some letters suggest it will look strongest when given enough size or tracking for counters to stay open, especially in dense settings.
