A heavy, block-built sans with squarish proportions and crisp, planar facets that replace most true curves. Strokes are consistently thick with small chamfers and notches at joins and terminals, producing a cut-metal feel rather than a smooth geometric construction. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular or rounded-rectangle, and many round letters (O, C, G, S) read as softened octagons. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a and g and a short-armed t, maintaining the same chiseled, high-density rhythm as the caps and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact applications such as posters, headlines, logo wordmarks, sports/club branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for UI labels or signage when set with generous spacing and at sizes where the faceting remains clearly visible.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking stamped signage, athletic titling, and rugged product graphics. Its faceted cuts add a slightly retro arcade/industrial flavor, prioritizing punch and presence over softness or refinement.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual weight and a machined, faceted identity—suggesting a deliberate move away from smooth curves toward chiseled planes for a rugged, attention-grabbing display voice.
The design leans into strong silhouettes and tight internal space, which helps at large sizes but can make counters and apertures feel compact in longer text. The distinctive notches and angled terminals create a consistent texture across lines, especially noticeable in mixed-case settings and on numerals.
