A heavy, block-constructed sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace curves with short planar facets. Strokes are thick and uniform, producing dense silhouettes with squared counters and small, clipped apertures. Proportions feel compact and sturdy with a tall lowercase presence; rounds like O/0 and bowls are rendered as octagonal forms. Terminals are blunt and consistent, giving the design a rigid, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where impact and quick recognition matter. It works well for sports-themed graphics, product packaging, labels, and UI moments that need a rugged, industrial voice. Because counters and apertures are tight, it’s most confident at medium-to-large sizes rather than long-form text.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an athletic, workmanlike edge. The faceted geometry evokes varsity signage, industrial labeling, and rugged equipment markings, projecting strength and directness rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional bold sans into a faceted, sign-ready style—maximizing weight and presence while maintaining consistent geometry across the set. Its clipped corners and squared counters suggest an aim for durable, reproducible letterforms that feel mechanical and authoritative.
The sharp corner cuts create distinctive inktrap-like notches in places (notably on S/s and some joins), which adds texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same angular logic, with the 0 and 8 reading particularly boxy and emblematic; diagonals (V, W, X, Z) are wide and forceful, reinforcing a sign-paint/placard feel.
