A heavy, block-built sans with crisp, faceted corners that replace curves with planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly thick, and most terminals finish flat, producing a sturdy, compact silhouette. Counters are geometric and often rectangular or octagonal, with tight apertures that create strong black mass at text sizes. The uppercase set feels especially squared and stable, while the lowercase introduces simple, schematic constructions that maintain the same angular rhythm. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, reading as stout, sign-like forms with consistent corner chamfers.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team graphics, and bold signage where its angular cuts and dense weight stay legible and stylistically intentional. It can also work for display-sized UI labels or game/arcade themed titling where a sharp, faceted voice is desired, but it will feel heavy for long-form reading.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a sporty, scoreboard-like energy. Its sharp geometry and dense weight give it a rugged, no-nonsense presence that can also read as retro-digital or arcade-adjacent depending on context. The font projects impact and discipline more than softness or nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, chamfered construction that evokes athletic and industrial letterforms. By standardizing stroke weight and converting curves into facets, it aims for a consistent, hard-edged texture that holds up well in bold, attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing appears designed to keep letters visually tight and punchy, reinforcing a compact texture in lines of text. The faceting is applied consistently across rounds (O, C, G, 0) and diagonals, helping maintain a cohesive, engineered look from caps to figures.
