A heavy, block-built display sans with squared, chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette throughout. Strokes are predominantly vertical and horizontal, with crisp interior cut-ins and small triangular notches that add a faceted, engineered feel. Counters are tight and geometric, and apertures tend to be narrow, producing dense word shapes with strong, even color. Capitals are tall and imposing, while the lowercase follows the same architectural construction with simplified, rectilinear forms and minimal curves.
Best suited for large-scale display use where its compact counters and faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, posters, signage, and bold labels. It also fits sports-themed branding, industrial or tech-forward packaging, and title treatments that need a strong, commanding texture.
The overall tone is rugged and industrial, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its faceted cuts evoke stenciled metal, machinery, and scoreboard aesthetics, giving it a retro-tech flavor while still feeling forceful and modern. The dense interiors and sharp corners read as assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, machined construction—prioritizing bold silhouettes, crisp corners, and a dense typographic color. The consistent chamfer motif suggests a deliberate effort to create an industrial/scoreboard character that remains cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design leans heavily on straight segments and clipped terminals, which keeps edges crisp but also makes small sizes feel compact due to tight counters. Numerals share the same chamfered geometry and maintain a sturdy, uniform rhythm, supporting prominent, high-impact setting in headlines and short phrases.
