A heavy, block-constructed sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp facets. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals and tight internal counters, creating a dense, high-ink silhouette. The geometry leans toward octagonal forms in rounded letters, while diagonals are cut cleanly and angles stay uniform across the set. Spacing and proportions feel compact and stable, prioritizing bold shapes and clear edges over delicate detail.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports branding, and logo wordmarks where the faceted silhouettes can read cleanly. It also fits packaging and labels that benefit from an assertive, industrial voice. For longer passages, its dense weight and tight counters suggest using generous size and spacing for comfort.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a rugged, workmanlike feel that reads as athletic and industrial. Its faceted construction adds a retro display flavor, evoking varsity signage and hard-edged branding. The presence is direct and commanding, built to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to translate traditional block lettering into a sharper, faceted system that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. It emphasizes sturdy geometry, strong corner treatment, and immediate legibility at display sizes while maintaining a cohesive, sign-like rhythm.
Uppercase forms appear especially strong and poster-ready, while lowercase maintains the same chiseled logic with simplified, sturdy shapes. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, with angular bowls and clipped corners that keep the set visually cohesive at large sizes.
