A heavy, block-constructed sans with chamfered corners and planar facets that replace most curves with angled cuts. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with large counters kept open enough for clarity at display sizes. The forms feel squared and slightly condensed in their internal shaping, while overall widths vary by glyph (notably in round letters and diagonals), producing a lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same faceted geometry, giving the set a consistent, cut-from-solid look.
Best suited to display applications such as posters, headlines, branding marks, sports graphics, merchandise, and bold packaging callouts. It works well where strong shapes and high visual punch are needed, particularly in short phrases or titles. In longer passages, it’s most effective when set large with generous spacing to keep the dense forms from feeling cramped.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone with a sporty, headline-ready presence. Its faceted cuts evoke stamped metal, varsity signage, and bold packaging, balancing retro familiarity with a crisp, engineered edge. The overall feel is assertive and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through sturdy geometry and signature faceting, turning simple sans forms into bold, cut-corner silhouettes. It prioritizes recognizability and a rugged, manufactured aesthetic, making it ideal for emphatic messaging and brand-forward display typography.
Angular joins and clipped terminals create distinctive silhouettes, especially in round letters where octagonal shaping is prominent. The lowercase maintains strong weight and presence, helping it hold up in short text bursts, though the density suggests it’s intended primarily for larger sizes where the facets can read clearly.
