A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that replace most curves. Strokes are consistently thick and squared off, with openings and counters cut as rectangular notches, giving letters a stenciled, machined feel without actual breaks. Proportions read compact and sturdy, with tight interior spaces and short joins that create a rhythmic, modular texture across words. Numerals and capitals carry the same faceted geometry, producing crisp, high-impact silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and logo wordmarks. It also fits packaging and labels where a tough, industrial voice is desired, especially in all caps or brief mixed-case settings.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, sports-forward energy. Its clipped corners and hard edges suggest toughness and functionality, evoking varsity lettering and rugged product marking rather than elegance or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity through simplified, faceted construction, trading smooth curves for cut, mechanical planes. It aims to feel sturdy and energetic, offering a distinctive angular signature for display typography.
Distinctive corner treatments (small diagonal cuts and step-like terminals) provide personality while keeping forms highly uniform. The dense color and reduced counters mean it benefits from generous tracking and larger sizes, where the angular details stay clear and the texture doesn’t plug up.
