A compact, block-built sans with frequent chamfered corners and planar cuts that replace most curves with straight facets. Strokes stay consistently heavy and even, with squared terminals and tight interior counters that read as octagonal openings in letters like O, D, and Q. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with flat-topped horizontals and angled joins that give diagonals (V, W, X, Y) a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same modular logic, mixing squared bowls and clipped apertures for a cohesive, signage-like texture.
Best suited for sports identities, jerseys and team graphics, bold posters, and high-impact headlines where the faceted construction can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging, equipment-style labeling, and event collateral that benefits from a rugged, technical atmosphere and strong figure/ground contrast in numerals.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a sporty, hard-edged character reminiscent of equipment labeling and team or uniform typography. Its faceted geometry also brings a subtle retro-digital and arcade poster energy, projecting strength, precision, and durability rather than softness or elegance.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through a simplified, modular geometry: a no-nonsense sans that substitutes curves with angled cuts to convey strength and precision. The consistent chiseled detailing suggests an intent to feel manufactured and durable, providing a distinctive display voice for branding systems that need an athletic or industrial edge.
The design’s heavy color and angular detailing create strong silhouette recognition at display sizes, while the tight counters and squared punctuation suggest it will look densest when set in short bursts. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-corner motif, reinforcing a consistent, system-like voice across headings and numeric callouts.
