A heavy, blocky sans with angular construction and faceted corners that replace most curves with straight segments and chamfers. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp right angles, producing squared counters and notched terminals in several letters and numerals. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with minimal modulation, while the uppercase carries a slightly engineered, stencil-like geometry in places (notably in the bowls and apertures). Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, creating dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited for display typography where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, team or event branding, product packaging, and bold UI or game-title treatments. It also works well for short labels and badges where the compact, engineered shapes can read as intentional design detail.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking industrial labeling and vintage athletic signage. Its faceted geometry and squared forms feel mechanical and purposeful, projecting strength and urgency more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact sans with a faceted, machined aesthetic—combining broad, squared proportions with chamfered geometry to create a rugged, graphic voice optimized for attention in large text.
Distinctive inner cut-ins and boxy counters give the font a technical, machine-made flavor that becomes especially prominent in all-caps settings. At smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense color may reduce clarity, while at display sizes the sharp facets and corner work become a defining texture.
