A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and pronounced chamfered corners, giving most counters and outer shapes an octagonal, faceted silhouette. The design minimizes curves, replacing them with planar cuts and crisp terminals; bowls and rounds read as squared-off forms with consistent corner treatment. Proportions are sturdy and relatively tall, with compact apertures and tight internal spaces, producing dense texture and strong color in text. The numerals and capitals follow the same angular logic, maintaining a uniform, sign-like rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters—headlines, posters, event graphics, and branding that needs a tough, athletic voice. It can also work well on packaging and labels when you want an industrial, stamped look, especially at larger sizes where the faceted construction is clearly visible.
The overall tone is tough and energetic, with a competitive, sports-poster punch and a slightly retro arcade/scoreboard edge. Its sharp facets and dense massing convey strength and urgency, reading as bold, no-nonsense, and attention-seeking rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to translate a rugged, machined aesthetic into a clear, high-impact alphabet by standardizing chamfered corners and straight-edged construction. It prioritizes bold presence and a cohesive angular motif for branding and display typography.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and frequent corner cuts can make details merge, while at larger sizes the faceting becomes a defining graphic feature. The consistent chamfer language helps the alphabet feel cohesive and engineered, and the straight-sided forms keep lines looking stable and aligned in headlines.
