A heavy, block-built sans with strongly faceted construction: curves are replaced by straight segments and clipped corners, producing an octagonal, machined silhouette. Strokes are broadly uniform and terminals are typically flat or chamfered, creating crisp edges and a tight, compact texture in lines of text. Counters tend to be angular and relatively small, emphasizing mass and solidity, while diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are steep and cleanly joined. The lowercase follows the same geometric, cut-corner logic, with simple, sturdy forms and minimal modulation.
Well-suited to display applications where impact and toughness are priorities: sports and esports identities, event posters, product packaging, apparel graphics, and bold wayfinding-style titles. It performs best at larger sizes where the angular counters and chamfers can be appreciated, and can be used for short subheads when spaced comfortably.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, utilitarian edge. Its faceted geometry evokes equipment labeling, team marks, and hard-surface signage, giving it a rugged, engineered feel. The rhythm reads as confident and forceful rather than friendly or delicate.
The letterforms appear designed to translate the visual language of cut metal or taped-off stencils into a clean, repeatable typographic system. By standardizing chamfers and replacing curves with planar facets, the design aims for high-impact legibility and a distinctive, athletic-industrial voice.
The design’s clipped-corner motif is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping it hold together in headlines and short bursts. In longer settings the dense color and narrow internal spaces can make it feel compact, so generous tracking and ample line spacing can help maintain clarity.
