A heavy, all-caps-forward display sans built from chamfered, octagonal outlines and sharp planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly thick with clipped corners and occasional internal notches that replace conventional curves, producing a faceted, almost stencil-like rhythm without true breaks. Counters are compact and geometric, and the lowercase follows the same blocky construction, keeping bowls and joins squared-off and tightly enclosed. Figures and capitals share consistent width and height logic, giving the face a sturdy, signlike texture at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event or team branding, and bold packaging labels. It also works well for badges, signage-style graphics, and large-scale titling where the chamfered geometry can be appreciated.
The overall tone is rugged and industrial, with a retro machinery and sports-signage flavor. Its hard angles and dense black shapes read as forceful and utilitarian, projecting strength and straightforwardness rather than finesse or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a distinctive faceted construction, translating traditional block lettering into a sharper, more mechanical geometry for confident display typography.
The faceting creates distinctive silhouettes (especially in S, G, 2, and 3), while the tight apertures and dense counters can darken quickly in smaller text. Letterspacing and line spacing benefit from a bit of breathing room to keep the internal cut-ins from filling in visually.
