A heavy, block-built typeface with crisp, faceted edges and clipped corners that replace most curves with straight planes. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, and counters are tight and geometric, often reading as octagonal or rectangular openings. The overall construction is upright and compact, with a strong vertical rhythm; the lowercase is sturdy and simplified, leaning on straight-sided bowls and angular joins. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, producing a uniform, sign-like texture across lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports branding, team or club identities, apparel graphics, event posters, and bold headlines. It also works well for badges, labels, and packaging where a tough, angular voice is desired and legibility is supported by generous sizing.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a distinctly collegiate and workmanlike feel. Its angular, cut-metal silhouette conveys strength and toughness, suggesting sports lettering, industrial markings, or retro display graphics.
The design appears intended to emulate cut-corner, stencil-like sports and industrial lettering through consistent planar facets and simplified geometric counters, prioritizing impact and solidity over delicate detail.
The faceting creates high impact at display sizes and a dense, dark color in paragraphs; interior spaces can close up in smaller settings. Diacritics and punctuation shown (e.g., i/j dots, apostrophe) are rendered as compact, squared forms that match the overall blocky aesthetic.
