A heavy, block-built display face constructed from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, and joins resolve into clean diagonal cuts that give the forms a machined, stenciled-adjacent rhythm without true breaks. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals and broad horizontals, producing dense silhouettes and strong word shapes; the lowercase follows the same angular construction with simple, single-storey forms and short, square terminals. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted geometry, keeping a consistent, uniform texture across mixed text.
Best suited to large-scale typography where the faceted details can read clearly: headlines, posters, sports and team branding, packaging accents, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It also works well for short labels, badges, and UI moments that need a strong, stamped presence.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial edge. The chiseled geometry suggests team markings, equipment labeling, and hard-surface signage—confident, functional, and slightly retro-futuristic in feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, angular forms that feel engineered and durable. By standardizing facets in place of curves, it aims for a consistent, high-energy texture that stays legible and distinctive in bold display settings.
Diagonal facets are used systematically at outer corners and some inner corners, creating an octagonal logic that reads well at larger sizes. The ampersand and punctuation adopt the same squared construction, reinforcing a cohesive, utilitarian character.
