A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply chamfered corners and planar facets that substitute for true curves. Strokes are consistently thick and geometric, with squared counters and clipped terminals that create a cut-metal silhouette. Uppercase forms read compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps similarly rigid structure with a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm in details like the ear/arms and joins. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, staying wide, stable, and highly simplified for impact.
Best suited to display applications where strong silhouettes matter: posters, headlines, team or event branding, badges, and bold packaging. It will also work for short labels or signage-style layouts where a rugged, geometric feel is desired, rather than extended body text.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking sports numbering, industrial signage, and engineered hardware aesthetics. Its angular cuts and bold mass give it a forceful, no-nonsense voice with a faint vintage-stenciled flavor.
The design appears intended to translate a robust sans into a faceted, cut-corner construction that feels fabricated and durable. By replacing curves with angled planes and keeping stroke weight steady, it aims for maximum impact and a distinctive industrial/sport display character.
The faceting produces small notches and asymmetries in some joins and terminals, which adds texture at display sizes but can make long passages feel busy. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) are rendered as polygonal shapes, reinforcing a consistent, machined look across the set.
