A heavy, block-built sans with chamfered corners and faceted, octagonal geometry throughout. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments, producing crisp shoulders, squared counters, and notched joins that read clearly at display sizes. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is compact, with sturdy verticals and simplified diagonals that keep silhouettes bold and stable. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with a squared, punched-in feel to apertures and counters.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as posters, headlines, sports and team branding, badges, and bold packaging panels where the angular silhouettes can carry from a distance. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a tough, industrial voice is desired, but it’s most effective when used sparingly rather than for extended text.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a sporty, badge-like energy that suggests uniforms, signage, and competitive branding. Its sharp facets add a slightly mechanical edge, giving it a rugged, industrial confidence with a retro scoreboard/letterman flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a slabby, athletic block-letter idea into a faceted, planar construction—maximizing impact while keeping letterforms clean, geometric, and reproducible. The consistent chamfers and simplified shapes emphasize bold presence and a strong, emblematic identity.
The faceting is applied consistently across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive system of clipped terminals and angular bowls. The wide, dark shapes and tight interior spaces create strong impact, but the dense texture can feel aggressive in long passages, favoring short, emphatic lines.
