A heavy, block-constructed sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight facets. Stroke endings are abrupt and squared, producing an octagonal silhouette on rounded letters and numerals, while internal counters stay open and fairly generous for the weight. Uppercase forms are compact and vertical, with simplified geometry and consistent chamfer angles across the set; lowercase echoes the same cut-corner logic, keeping bowls and terminals angular and sturdy. Numerals and caps read especially uniform, with a clear, sign-painting-like rhythm driven by repeated bevels and straight joins.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where the faceted silhouettes can read cleanly and project impact. It also fits sports branding, uniforms, team marks, and bold signage or wayfinding, as well as product labeling that benefits from a rugged, engineered feel.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking athletic lettering, equipment labeling, and no-nonsense industrial graphics. The faceted geometry adds a retro-tech flavor—more scoreboard and jersey than minimalist corporate—while staying clean enough to feel modern in UI-like contexts.
The design appears intended to translate traditional block lettering into a crisp, geometric system, using consistent chamfers to suggest durability and precision. It prioritizes instant recognition and strong presence, especially in uppercase and numerals, for branding and display applications.
The cut-corner construction creates strong patterning at large sizes and in all-caps, where the repeated chamfers become a defining texture. In longer text, the dense weight and angular joins emphasize a mechanical cadence, making spacing and line length important for comfortable reading.
