A heavy, block-based sans with straight strokes and consistent weight, built from squared forms softened by sharp chamfered corners. Curves are largely replaced by planar facets, giving round letters and numerals an octagonal, cut-metal feel. Counters are tight and geometric, with sturdy horizontals and verticals creating a compact, high-impact silhouette. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with simplified terminals and clipped joins that keep the texture dense and uniform across text.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short bursts of text where the angular construction can carry visual personality. It fits sports branding, team and event graphics, bold packaging, and industrial or tech-themed interfaces where a robust, mechanical tone is desired.
The faceted geometry reads tough and energetic, evoking athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and arcade-era display typography. Its crisp corner cuts add a mechanical precision that feels modern and utilitarian while still leaning retro through its octagonal rhythm.
The font appears designed to translate a slablike sans skeleton into a faceted, corner-cut construction that maximizes impact and consistency. The goal seems to be a strong, easily recognizable voice that holds up in bold display settings while keeping a disciplined geometric system across the character set.
The design maintains a consistent chamfer angle across letters and numbers, which helps unify mixed-case settings. The dense interior spaces and squared bowls suggest better performance at medium-to-large sizes where the faceting and internal shapes remain clear.
