A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharply chamfered corners that turn curves into planar facets. Strokes are largely uniform, with squared terminals and frequent octagonal counters in round letters and digits. Proportions are compact and vertical, with broad capitals, a sturdy baseline, and straightforward spacing that keeps word shapes dense and punchy. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic, with simplified bowls and angled joins that maintain a consistent, machined rhythm across the set.
Well suited to display typography where the angular facets can be appreciated: posters, headlines, badges, team or event branding, and packaging that needs a tough, technical presence. It also fits UI-style titles or labels in game, sci‑fi, or industrial themes when used at larger sizes.
The faceted geometry and clipped corners convey a rugged, engineered tone—part sports jersey, part industrial signage, with a hint of arcade and sci‑fi interface styling. It feels assertive and functional rather than decorative, projecting strength and precision.
The design appears intended to translate traditional grotesque letterforms into a hard-edged, faceted system that replaces curves with chamfers, producing a durable, high-impact voice. Consistent corner treatments and boxy counters prioritize a cohesive, machinic identity over softness or calligraphic nuance.
Distinctive cut-ins and chamfers create strong silhouettes at display sizes, while the tight interior spaces in letters like A, B, R, and 8 suggest it will read best with adequate size and contrast. Numerals match the caps in weight and construction, reinforcing a uniform, equipment-label look.
