A heavy, block-built sans with sharp chamfers and faceted corner cuts that replace most curves with planar angles. Strokes stay consistently thick with squared terminals and a compact, squared-off silhouette, giving letters a sturdy, poster-like mass. Several forms feature deliberate interior notches and split-like cuts (notably in rounded counters such as O, Q, and digits), producing a subtle stencil/engraved effect while keeping counters relatively small for a dense, high-ink texture. The lowercase follows the same geometric, carved treatment with simplified bowls and minimal modulation, maintaining a uniform, mechanical rhythm across text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and punchy short phrases where its carved, angular detailing can be appreciated. It also fits sports branding, team or event graphics, packaging callouts, and utilitarian signage where a strong, engineered voice is desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with an industrial edge that feels at home in environments where impact and authority matter. Its faceted cuts and notched details add a rugged, engineered character that reads as sporty and utilitarian rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a machined, faceted construction, using chamfers and notches to create a distinctive, rugged identity while preserving straightforward, sans-like legibility.
At text sizes the dense weight and compact counters can make long passages feel dark, while the distinctive notches and chamfers remain a prominent identifying feature in headlines. The numerals and uppercase have especially strong, sign-like presence, and the face rewards generous tracking and leading when used in multi-line settings.
