A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with angular, faceted planes. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, producing a compact, block-like silhouette and consistent rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are clipped rather than rounded, diagonals are sturdy and simplified, and the overall texture reads dense and punchy at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-corner logic, giving the set a cohesive, modular feel.
Best suited for short, prominent text where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, wordmarks, sports branding, apparel graphics, packaging, and attention-grabbing UI labels. The dense, angular texture also works well for badges, labels, and title cards where a rugged, engineered feel is desired.
The faceted construction and squared-off presence convey a tough, functional tone reminiscent of stenciled signage, sports titling, and arcade-era techno graphics. It feels confident and high-impact, prioritizing bold shapes and clear silhouettes over softness or nuance.
This design appears intended to deliver a bold, no-nonsense display voice using a consistent chamfered system that translates rounded forms into planar geometry. The goal is a cohesive, high-impact look with a strong industrial/sport-tech flavor that remains legible through simplified, blocky construction.
Letterforms show a deliberate reduction of round geometry (notably in C/G/O/Q and 8/9) into multi-sided shapes, which strengthens the mechanical character. The lowercase maintains the same hard-edged vocabulary, keeping mixed-case settings visually uniform and headline-forward.
