A heavy, block-built sans with crisp chamfered corners and faceted counters that replace traditional curves with straight segments. Strokes are uniform and square-ended, creating a sturdy, cut-from-plate feel and a tight, compact silhouette. The uppercase forms read as octagonal and regimented, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic with simplified bowls and notches; apertures are small and counters are mostly rectangular or polygonal. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, with an especially strong, signage-like “0” and “8” built from faceted loops.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where the faceted geometry can read clearly at larger sizes. It also fits sports identity work, jersey-style titling, packaging callouts, and punchy signage where a rugged, mechanical impression is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, team-jersey energy and a touch of retro arcade/scoreboard character. Its sharp facets and dense black shapes project toughness and momentum rather than softness or elegance.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a carved, beveled, or stamped aesthetic into a clean digital system, using consistent chamfers to unify the alphabet. The intent is a highly impactful display face that stays legible through simple, repeatable facets rather than curves.
The design relies on consistent corner cuts and squared interior angles to maintain rhythm across the set, giving text a distinctly modular texture at display sizes. In longer lines, the tight apertures and heavy mass create high contrast against the page, favoring short bursts of text over continuous reading.
