A heavy, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners that replace most curves with planar facets. Strokes are consistently thick with low contrast, producing a sturdy, uniform color on the line. The geometry favors octagonal counters and clipped terminals, with squared shoulders and straight-sided bowls that feel machined. Uppercase forms are wide and compact, while lowercase maintains simple, utilitarian constructions; round letters like O/C/G read as faceted polygons rather than true circles. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, giving the set a cohesive, signage-like rhythm.
Best suited to display applications where strong presence and quick recognition matter, such as headlines, posters, sports branding, team apparel, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when a rugged, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone is hard-edged and purposeful, evoking athletic jersey lettering, industrial labeling, and tool-like precision. Its faceted shapes convey strength and efficiency, with a slightly retro arcade/scoreboard flavor that feels energetic and no-nonsense.
The font appears designed to translate a cut-metal, stenciled, or jersey-block aesthetic into a clean digital alphabet, using consistent corner chamfers to unify the set. The emphasis is on impact, clarity at a distance, and a cohesive geometric system that stays recognizable across letters and numerals.
The design relies on repeated corner cuts and straight segments, creating crisp diagonals and a tightly engineered silhouette. In text, the dense weight and polygonal counters emphasize impact over delicacy, keeping letterforms visually distinct through their consistent chamfer motif.
