A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace most curves with angled cuts. Strokes are consistently thick, with mostly straight-sided verticals and horizontals and occasional diagonal joins, producing an octagonal rhythm across round letters and numerals. Counters tend to be rectangular and tightly enclosed, and terminals are squared or clipped, giving a crisp, machined edge. Lowercase follows the same modular construction with sturdy stems and short, angular joins, keeping a uniform, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited for short, prominent settings such as posters, big headers, team or club graphics, labels, and bold wayfinding where strong silhouettes matter. It also works for punchy pull quotes or title treatments, while long passages benefit from generous size and spacing to keep counters open.
The overall tone is rugged and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its faceted geometry evokes mechanical signage, sports lettering, and hard-surfaced industrial design, leaning more assertive than friendly.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch through a consistent system of chamfered corners and straight strokes, translating traditional sans forms into a hard-edged, fabricated look optimized for display impact.
The faceting creates distinctive silhouettes for characters like O/0 and S, and the dense weight keeps interior spaces small, which amplifies impact but can reduce clarity at very small sizes. Numerals share the same clipped-corner construction, reading like engraved or cut-out forms rather than drawn curves.
