A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from straight strokes and planar cuts rather than curves. Corners are aggressively beveled, creating a faceted silhouette with small notches and clipped terminals that give many letters a chiseled, almost stenciled feel. Counters are compact and geometric, and the overall color is dense and even, with simplified joins and minimal modulation. Lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s angular construction, with compact bowls and sharply cut shoulders, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, team or event graphics, and logo wordmarks where the faceted construction can read clearly. It also fits packaging and labels that benefit from a rugged, industrial voice, and it can work for large-format wayfinding or signage when ample size and spacing are available.
The faceted cuts and chunky proportions project a tough, utilitarian energy that reads as sporty and industrial. Its angular rhythm and compressed counters add a retro sign-painting or varsity-adjacent toughness, making the tone feel bold, physical, and slightly gritty rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, cut-from-solid aesthetic—replacing curves with angled facets to create a distinctive, rugged display voice that stays cohesive across letters and numbers.
At display sizes the beveled details are a defining feature, while in smaller settings the tight counters and frequent notches can visually darken lines and reduce interior clarity. Numerals follow the same carved geometry, keeping headings and large numeric callouts visually consistent.
