A heavy, block-built display sans with planar facets that substitute for curves, creating octagonal counters and chamfered corners throughout. Strokes are mostly straight and orthogonal, with occasional angled cuts that give bowls, terminals, and joints a machined, hard-edged finish. Proportions are broad and stable, with squarish rounds (C, O, G) and compact interior spaces that stay consistent across caps and lowercase. The lowercase largely mirrors the angular construction of the capitals; the single-storey a and the squared e reinforce the geometric system, while numerals follow the same cut-corner logic for a uniform, stenciled-by-machine feel.
Best suited to impactful headlines, posters, and identity work where a hard, geometric voice is desired. It fits sports branding, product packaging, labels, wayfinding/signage, and tech or gaming-themed graphics where sharp silhouettes and a machined aesthetic help carry the message.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial signage and sports/tech branding. The faceted geometry reads as rugged and engineered rather than friendly, giving headlines a confident, no-nonsense voice with a hint of retro arcade and varsity energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch using a consistent system of cut-corner geometry, evoking fabricated lettering and angular, logo-friendly forms. Its faceted construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive, engineered look across letters and figures.
The faceting is applied consistently at corners and apertures, producing a crisp rhythm and strong silhouette recognition at large sizes. Tight counters and heavy joins suggest the design is intended to hold its character in bold display settings rather than delicate text applications.
