A heavy, compact display face built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. The glyphs read as squared and engineered, with rectangular counters and clipped terminals that create a consistent octagonal silhouette across rounds like C, O, and S. Stroke weight stays steady, producing a dense color and strong vertical emphasis; joins are sharp and corners are deliberately broken rather than smoothed. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while the lowercase is simplified and sturdy, maintaining the same faceted construction and tight apertures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, apparel graphics, and bold packaging. It can also work for labels or wayfinding-style callouts where a compact, hard-edged word shape is desirable, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a competitive, team-uniform energy. Its faceted geometry feels mechanical and no-nonsense, evoking signage, equipment marking, and bold headline statements rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint while preserving legibility through clear, squared counters and consistent stroke structure. The faceted construction suggests a deliberate attempt to modernize classic block lettering with a sharp, machined edge.
The design relies on repeated diagonal corner cuts to create rhythm, giving the alphabet a cohesive, modular feel. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, with closed, angular bowls and strong, straight-sided forms that keep the set visually uniform.
