A sturdy, all-caps-friendly sans with faceted construction: curves are replaced by crisp chamfers and near-octagonal bowls. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with squared terminals and pronounced corner cuts that create a mechanical rhythm. The uppercase set reads compact and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same angular logic with simplified forms (notably single-storey a and g) and a tall, assertive presence. Numerals follow the same chamfered, cut-corner geometry for a cohesive alphanumeric texture.
Best suited to display settings where its chamfered geometry can read clearly—headlines, posters, sports branding, team or event graphics, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, engineered look. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style text when a strong, industrial tone is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-label energy. Its sharp cornering and blocky silhouettes suggest precision and ruggedness, leaning toward a techno-industrial and collegiate-athletic vibe rather than a friendly everyday voice.
The design appears intended to translate traditional sans proportions into a hard-edged, faceted system that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. It prioritizes impact and a mechanical, constructed feel—delivering a bold, equipment-grade voice for branding and display typography.
The faceting creates distinctive internal corners in letters with bowls (C, G, O, Q, e, o), producing a stencil-like sense of engineered shape without actual breaks. Wide diagonals in A, V, W, and Y add punch in headlines, while the consistent corner cuts keep word shapes uniform and tightly patterned.
