A heavy, geometric sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with angled planes. Strokes are broadly uniform, with squared terminals and consistent internal counters that read as octagonal apertures in round letters. The uppercase is tall and compact with a strong vertical rhythm; the lowercase mirrors the same angular construction and maintains clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same modular, cut-corner logic, producing a sturdy, high-impact texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
Best suited to display roles where impact and quick recognition matter: posters, headlines, sports branding, event graphics, and bold packaging or label work. It can also serve for short UI labels or wayfinding at larger sizes where its angular detailing remains clear.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, combining a sporty scoreboard energy with a crisp, engineered feel. Its angular cuts and dense color convey confidence and motion, evoking industrial signage and bold display graphics rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a disciplined, modular construction—trading smooth curves for planar cuts to create a rugged, technical voice. It prioritizes bold legibility and a distinctive silhouette that stands out in branding and title settings.
Faceting is applied consistently across the set, creating a coherent ‘machined’ silhouette and a distinctive, slightly condensed presence. The font’s strong horizontals and verticals produce a stable baseline and clear word shapes, while the sharp corners add bite and a modern edge.
