A heavy, block-built sans with faceted construction: curved joins are replaced by crisp chamfers that create octagonal counters and clipped terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture. Proportions feel compact with wide shoulders and squared-off bowls; the lowercase maintains clear differentiation while echoing the same cut-corner geometry. Numerals are similarly angular and closed, reinforcing a mechanical, stenciled-by-shape impression without actual breaks.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short blocks of text where the angular silhouette can read as a design feature. It works well for sports branding, event graphics, labels, wayfinding, and packaging that needs a rugged, technical presence. For longer reading, it will typically perform better at larger sizes with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its sharp facets and sturdy mass evoke varsity lettering, equipment labeling, and retro digital or arcade-era signage. The voice is direct and no-nonsense, optimized for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to translate classic block sans proportions into a distinctive faceted system, turning curves into planar cuts for a hard-edged, manufactured look. It prioritizes immediate recognition and strong presence, aiming for a consistent geometric signature across letters and numerals.
The faceting is applied consistently across rounds and diagonals, giving the typeface a uniform, engineered rhythm. In text, the dense letterforms create strong color and a slightly compressed feel, making spacing and line breaks important for readability at smaller sizes.
