A heavy, block-built display sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, planar construction throughout. Curves are largely replaced by clipped diagonals, producing octagonal counters and a consistent “cut” vocabulary across rounds like O/Q and bowls like B/P/R. Strokes are uniform and dense, with squared terminals and compact apertures that create a tight, sturdy silhouette; the caps read slightly more condensed than the lowercase, which stays straightforward and sturdy with simple, geometric joins. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, emphasizing hard corners and strong, poster-friendly shapes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, bold logo lockups, and packaging fronts. It works well when you want a rugged, geometric texture and strong presence, particularly in large display sizes and simple layouts.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with an athletic/industrial energy reminiscent of stencil-free varsity lettering and bold signage. Its sharp facets add a rugged, engineered feel, making the font read as confident, forceful, and intentionally utilitarian rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive faceted geometry, translating traditional block lettering into a sharp, planar system. The consistent corner cuts and sturdy proportions suggest a focus on clear, assertive display typography for branding and signage-like applications.
The repeated chamfer angle and clipped corners create a strong internal rhythm, especially noticeable in rounded forms and diagonally cut joins. The dense interior spaces and small openings favor larger sizes, where the faceting becomes a defining texture rather than a dark mass.
