A compact, all-caps–friendly display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Strokes are consistently heavy with squared terminals and frequent chamfering that creates an octagonal, cut-metal silhouette across rounds and diagonals. Counters tend to be tight and geometric, with sturdy verticals and controlled diagonals that keep letterforms rigid and stable. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, yielding a strong, uniform texture in text while retaining distinct angular joints and notches.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the faceted corners can be appreciated—posters, title cards, athletic identities, and bold packaging systems. It also works well for signage or labels that benefit from a sturdy, stencil-like clarity and a compact footprint.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with an assertive, no-nonsense presence that reads as engineered rather than handwritten. Its faceted geometry evokes sports numbering, industrial labeling, and hard-surface design cues, giving it a disciplined, tactical feel with a touch of retro scoreboard energy.
Likely designed to deliver a rugged, geometric voice that stays highly legible while projecting strength and precision. The consistent chamfer language suggests an intention to mimic manufactured forms—like cut vinyl, machined parts, or jersey lettering—while remaining clean and modern in composition.
The design relies on repeated chamfers to maintain consistency between straight and rounded structures, producing a rhythmic pattern of clipped corners that remains visible even at larger sizes. Figures share the same cut-corner logic, helping numerals feel cohesive with caps in headline settings.
