A heavy, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners that replace curves with planar facets. Strokes stay consistently thick with squared terminals, producing a dense, poster-like texture and strong vertical rhythm. Counters are compact and often octagonal in feel, while diagonals (in forms like A, K, V, W, X) are cut with crisp, straight edges. The lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with sturdy stems and simplified bowls, creating a cohesive, monolinear system that reads best at medium to large sizes.
Best suited to display work where strong silhouette and high impact matter—headlines, posters, and bold brand marks. It also fits athletic identities, event graphics, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, industrial feel, and it holds up well for short labels or numbers that need to read quickly.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sports-and-signage energy that feels engineered rather than handwritten. Its faceted cuts and compact apertures give it a disciplined, no-nonsense voice, leaning toward vintage athletic branding and industrial labeling.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum punch with a minimal, engineered construction, using faceted corner cuts to add character without introducing ornament. The system prioritizes strong shapes and consistent weight so text blocks look solid and commanding.
The design’s repeated corner chamfers create a distinctive rhythm across both letters and numerals, making the alphabet feel like it was built from the same set of geometric cuts. Numerals are equally blocky and emphatic, matching the caps in weight and presence for consistent impact in mixed alphanumeric settings.
