A heavy, block-built sans with sharp chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick and mostly straight, with octagonal counters and clipped terminals that create a cut-metal rhythm. Proportions are compact and squared-off, with wide caps and sturdy lowercase forms that keep openings relatively tight while remaining legible. Numerals and uppercase share the same faceted geometry, producing a cohesive, engineered texture across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short emphatic statements where its angular construction can be appreciated. It works well for sports branding, event graphics, gaming or sci‑fi themed interfaces, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, engineered voice. For body copy, larger sizes and a bit of extra spacing help maintain clarity.
The faceted geometry and hard corners give the face a tough, mechanical energy reminiscent of industrial stenciling and sports jersey lettering. Its tone is forceful and functional rather than friendly, projecting strength, durability, and a slightly retro-tech sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact sans built from straight segments and consistent chamfers, prioritizing a strong silhouette and a technical, fabricated feel. The unified faceted system across letters and numbers suggests a focus on branding-ready display typography with a distinctive geometric signature.
The consistent chamfers create a distinctive sparkle at corners, especially in diagonals and joins, which can read as “machined” at larger sizes. The compact apertures and dense black shape make it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing in longer settings.
