A heavy, geometric sans with faceted construction that replaces curves with crisp chamfers and flat planes. Strokes are monolinear and the joins form octagonal counters and terminals, giving round letters like O/C/G a cut-corner, engineered feel. Capitals are tall and compact with squared shoulders and tight interior apertures, while the lowercase follows the same angular logic with short, sturdy extenders and simplified bowls. Numerals are equally block-like, with sharp corners and uniform stroke weight for clear, punchy figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event graphics, product packaging, and industrial-style labels. It also works well for numerals in signage, scoreboards, or bold data callouts where a rugged, technical look is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sports-and-signage energy that reads as confident and no-nonsense. Its faceted geometry suggests precision and machinery, while the squared rhythm evokes retro athletic lettering and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust sans voice with a distinctive faceted silhouette—combining engineered chamfers with simple, blocky proportions for immediate recognition and strong display presence.
The font maintains consistent chamfer angles across letters and numbers, creating a cohesive texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings. Compact counters and strong verticals increase impact at larger sizes, though the tight apertures can make dense paragraphs feel heavy.
