A heavy, block-built sans with chamfered corners that turns curves into crisp, planar cuts. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with squared terminals and tightly controlled counters that read as small, rectangular apertures. Proportions feel compact and sturdy, with straight-sided bowls, angular joins, and an overall octagonal silhouette that stays consistent from caps to figures.
Best suited for large-scale applications where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, sports identities, team apparel, packaging labels, and wayfinding or venue signage. It can work for short UI or display callouts when you want a bold, industrial voice and can give it room to breathe.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, evoking athletic numbering, equipment labels, and industrial signage. Its faceted geometry adds a rugged, machined character that feels both retro and utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted construction—replacing round forms with clipped planes for a sturdy, hardware-like aesthetic. Its consistent geometry suggests an intention to be highly recognizable at a distance and to pair well with bold graphic systems.
The design relies on angular notches and clipped corners to define interior spaces, giving letters like O/Q/0 and B/R a distinctive, engineered look. In text, the dense color and tight interior openings emphasize impact over nuance, making it best when set with ample size and spacing.
