A compact, heavy block sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The forms are tightly proportioned with a strong vertical stance, large internal counters where possible, and consistent cut-off terminals that create an octagonal rhythm across rounds like C, G, O, and Q. Stroke joins are sharp and geometric, diagonals are simplified and sturdy, and spacing feels deliberately tight to maintain dense texture in display settings.
Best suited for large-scale display typography such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and logo wordmarks where bold, angular letterforms are an asset. It can also work well on packaging or labels that benefit from an industrial, hard-edged voice, especially when set with generous line spacing to keep dense strokes from feeling crowded.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Its faceted construction reads as rugged and mechanical, evoking varsity numerals, stenciled signage, and hard-edged retro graphics. The dense color and angular cuts convey urgency and strength rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted geometry and consistent corner cuts, offering a robust alternative to rounded display sans styles. Its construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and a uniform, engineered feel that stays recognizable in short words and big numerals.
Round letters are squared off with repeated corner chamfers, giving the alphabet a cohesive ‘cut metal’ silhouette. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with especially bold, sign-like shapes that hold up at large sizes. Mixed-case text maintains a consistent, compact rhythm, with punctuation and spacing that emphasize impact over airiness.
