A heavy, block-constructed sans with clipped corners and straight, planar terminals that replace curves with octagonal facets. Strokes are consistently thick and geometric, producing compact counters (notably in O, a, e, and 8) and a dense, high-impact color on the page. The lowercase is simplified and sturdy, with single-storey forms and squared bowls, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) feel mechanically cut rather than drawn. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, emphasizing hard angles and closed shapes for maximum solidity.
Best suited to display applications where impact and immediate recognition are priorities: headlines, posters, sports and team-style branding, event graphics, gaming/arcade interfaces, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for short navigational labels and scoreboards where its angular rhythm reinforces a technical or athletic theme.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a rugged, machined character that reads as sporty and game-like. Its sharp corners and stencil-like geometry suggest strength, competition, and retro digital or arcade aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, emblematic voice through faceted geometry—evoking cut metal, athletic jersey lettering, and retro-tech signage—while staying simple and consistent for easy reproduction across print and screen.
The faceting creates distinctive silhouettes and strong word shapes at display sizes, while the tight apertures and compact counters can reduce clarity when set small or in long passages. The design maintains a consistent angular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, making it especially cohesive in all-caps and short labels.
