A heavy, monoline sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing octagonal bowls and clipped terminals. Strokes keep a consistent thickness, with squared joins and frequent diagonal cut-ins that create a crisp, planar rhythm. Proportions are sturdy with a high x-height and relatively short ascenders/descenders, keeping lowercase dense and legible. Counters are compact but open cleanly, and the overall spacing reads steady, supporting tight, blocky word shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short statements where its faceted shapes can read clearly and project impact. It also fits sports and event graphics, packaging, and UI moments that want a tough, technical voice—such as labels, badges, and title treatments.
The faceted geometry gives the typeface a machined, engineered tone that feels confident and no-nonsense. Its angular silhouettes evoke athletic numbering, stenciled equipment markings, and retro arcade or sci‑fi interfaces, balancing a nostalgic edge with a contemporary technical feel.
The design appears intended to translate a blocky sans into a consistent faceted system, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a mechanical, cut-metal feel over smooth curvature. The high x-height and uniform stroke weight support legibility while maintaining an unmistakably angular identity.
Round characters like O, Q, C, and G resolve into multi-sided forms with consistent corner bevels, reinforcing a unified system across letters and digits. Numerals follow the same clipped geometry, yielding strong, sign-like figures with high presence at display sizes.
