A heavy, block-built sans with crisp chamfered corners that turn most curves into short planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick with squared terminals, creating compact, high-impact silhouettes and sturdy counters. Geometry leans octagonal throughout, with straight segments and clipped joins producing a machined, stencil-like clarity without actual cutouts. Spacing appears tight-to-moderate, and the overall texture reads dense and even in all-caps as well as mixed-case settings.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and impact-driven labels where the angular construction can read as a deliberate style choice. It also works well for sports-themed graphics, team or event branding, and bold packaging callouts where numerals and all-caps need to feel solid and authoritative.
The tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, uniform-like confidence. Its faceted construction feels engineered and no-nonsense, evoking scoreboard numerals, equipment markings, and bold promotional lettering.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of carved or machined lettering into a clean digital display face, prioritizing strength, immediacy, and a distinctive faceted signature over soft curves or delicate detail.
Distinctive clipped corners give the numerals and round letters (such as O/C/G) a strong octagonal character, while diagonals remain clean and decisive in letters like K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y. The lowercase maintains the same angular logic, keeping a cohesive, geometric rhythm across sizes and in continuous text.
