A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing most curves with planar facets. Counters tend toward octagonal forms, and terminals are blunt with consistent stroke weight, giving the alphabet a cut-metal, stenciled-in-spirit look without actual cutouts. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with squared shoulders and simplified joins that keep forms rigid and mechanical. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with the 0 and 8 reading as multi-sided rings and the 2/3/5 showing sharp, segmented turns.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and display typography where its faceted construction can read clearly and set a strong tone. It works well for sports and team branding, industrial or tech-themed posters, wayfinding or label-style signage, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, engineered feel.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking sports jersey lettering, industrial signage, and technical labeling. Its sharp geometry and dense color feel assertive and disciplined, leaning toward a no-nonsense, engineered aesthetic with a slight retro hardware flavor.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of octagonal, machine-cut lettering into a clean digital sans, emphasizing impact, consistency, and quick recognition. By systematically faceting curves into straight segments, it aims to deliver a distinctive industrial voice while staying highly legible in bold display settings.
At text sizes the strong angles and tight interior spaces create a dark, impactful texture, while the faceted corners add distinctive character in headlines and short lines. The lowercase echoes the uppercase construction, keeping the same angular rhythm and reinforcing a cohesive, system-like voice.
