A heavy, block-built sans with sharp chamfered corners and planar cuts that replace most curves. The forms are largely rectilinear, with octagonal counters and clipped terminals that create a crisp, faceted silhouette. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing strong color in text; apertures tend to be tight and counters are compact, especially in round letters and numerals. Lowercase shows a tall, sturdy structure with minimal modulation, while capitals read as robust signage shapes with a consistent system of angled notches and bevels.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging callouts where the faceted silhouette can be appreciated. It also fits athletic and team-style applications, labels, and UI moments that need bold, unmistakable lettering.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, suggesting equipment labeling, sports identity, and no-nonsense display typography. Its chiseled geometry adds a slightly retro, arcade-like edge while remaining straightforward and highly impactful.
The design appears intended to translate the language of machined bevels and cut metal into letterforms, delivering a strong geometric identity that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Its emphasis is on recognizability and punch rather than softness or delicate readability.
The repeated corner chamfers create a distinctive rhythm at both large and medium sizes, but the compact counters and squared curves can make long passages feel dense. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, with a particularly strong, emblem-like presence suited to scoring, jerseys, and numbering systems.
