A heavy, compact sans with crisp, faceted geometry that replaces curves with chamfered corners and flat planes. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and most bowls and counters read as squared or octagonal shapes. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, producing a strong, stenciled-by-machining feel without actual breaks. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in appearance, with tight apertures and counters that hold up best at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, angular presence is desired. It also fits sports applications such as team marks, uniforms, and scoreboard-style graphics, as well as bold signage and packaging where quick recognition and toughness are priorities.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sports-jersey and equipment-label energy. Its hard angles and dense color create a commanding, no-nonsense voice suited to bold statements and impact-driven messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an engineered, faceted aesthetic—evoking athletic lettering and industrial labeling while remaining simple and highly graphic. Its consistent chamfers and dense silhouettes prioritize bold readability and a distinctive, hard-edged personality over delicate detail.
The faceting is applied systematically across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the design a consistent rhythm. The round characters (O, C, G, 0, 8, 9) are particularly distinctive due to their multi-sided construction, which emphasizes a technical, engineered look in text settings.
