A compact, block-built sans with squared proportions and consistent chamfered corners that turn curves into crisp facets. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with tight interior counters and a steady, mechanical rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures. The letterforms rely on straight segments, clipped joins, and octagonal bowls, producing a rugged geometry that stays legible in short words and large sizes.
Best suited to display typography: headlines, posters, and strong brand marks where angular geometry is a feature rather than a distraction. It also works well for sports applications (team names, numbers), wayfinding or warning-style signage, and packaging that benefits from a durable, engineered look.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its faceted construction evokes equipment labeling and engineered surfaces, giving text a confident, no-nonsense presence that feels modern yet reminiscent of classic jersey and signage lettering.
The design appears intended to translate a strictly geometric, faceted motif into a practical, readable sans for impactful display use. By replacing curves with chamfers and keeping stroke weight even, it prioritizes a rugged, technical personality with consistent rhythm across the character set.
Uppercase shapes read especially structured and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same angular language for a cohesive voice. Numerals share the same clipped geometry, which helps headlines and set numbers feel consistent with the text.
