A heavy, monoline display sans built from straight strokes and consistent chamfered corners, replacing round curves with crisp facets. Letterforms feel compact and squared, with broad horizontal terminals and frequent octagonal counters (notably in C, O, and numerals). Curves are implied through angled segments, giving a distinctly planar construction; diagonals are sturdy and clean, and the overall rhythm is tight with solid, even color in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, branding marks, posters, labels, and sports or team-style graphics where the angular texture can carry a strong identity. It can also work for wayfinding or UI accents when a rugged, technical tone is desired, but its dense, faceted detailing is most effective at medium to large sizes.
The faceted geometry projects a tough, utilitarian attitude with a sporty, equipment-like presence. Its sharp corners and blocky silhouettes suggest ruggedness and precision, leaning into a retro-tech and varsity-adjacent tone without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to translate a bold sans skeleton into a consistently chamfered, faceted system that stays legible while emphasizing a hard-edged, engineered personality.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and emblematic, while lowercase maintains the same chamfered logic for a unified system. Numerals are angular and punchy, with clear distinctions and a slightly stenciled, engineered feel created by the repeated corner cuts.
