A compact, heavy display face built from straight strokes and crisp, chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Counters are small and tightly controlled, with squared, octagonal-like interiors in letters such as O and D, and flattened terminals throughout. The texture is dense and dark, with consistent stroke mass and a steady, vertical stance; diagonals (A, V, W, Y) are steep and simplified to match the geometric cut-corner logic. Lowercase forms largely echo the uppercase construction, keeping the same clipped joins and sturdy stems for a uniform, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and identity work where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It also fits sports branding, event graphics, labels, and packaging that benefit from a tough, stamped or cut-metal aesthetic, especially in short lines and large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, leaning toward athletic signage and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and compressed footprint give it a rugged, competitive energy with a slightly vintage, varsity/scoreboard feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width by using heavy strokes and faceted construction, creating a robust silhouette that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The chamfered corners suggest an aim toward a machined, sign-painted, or varsity-inspired look that reads as durable and assertive.
At smaller sizes the tight apertures and reduced counters can fill in visually, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive chamfered silhouette and strong word shapes. Numerals follow the same cut-corner geometry, maintaining a consistent, sign-ready presence across alphanumerics.
