A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters tend toward squared or octagonal forms, and terminals finish in abrupt, chamfered cuts that create a machined, beveled silhouette. Proportions are broadly set with sturdy verticals and horizontal bars, producing a compact, high-impact rhythm; lowercase shares the same faceted construction with mostly simple, single-storey shapes. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with enclosed forms rendered as squared rings and open forms cut into sharp segments.
Best suited for short, bold settings where its angular construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, team or sports branding, logo wordmarks, and impactful packaging. It can also work for labels, signage, and UI accents when a tough, industrial voice is desired, but will be most legible and distinctive at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with an engineered feel that reads as sporty and hard-edged. Its faceting lends a retro-tech flavor reminiscent of varsity and industrial labeling, projecting strength and decisiveness rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a consistent faceted geometry, translating rounded letterforms into sharp, planar cuts. Its sturdy build and wide stance suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display typography with a mechanical, athletic character.
The consistent chamfering creates strong internal highlights and a distinctive texture in words, especially in round-heavy strings where the faceted ‘O’-like shapes repeat. The design favors straight-sided geometry, so diagonal letters (such as A, V, W, X) feel particularly forceful and graphic.
