A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and crisp chamfered corners that substitute for curves. Strokes are uniform and planar, creating faceted octagonal counters in letters like O and Q, and notched joins in diagonals and terminals. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps a simple, geometric construction with short ascenders/descenders and squared apertures. Numerals echo the same cut-corner geometry for a consistent, signlike rhythm across the set.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and branding where an athletic or industrial voice is desired. It works well for team identities, event graphics, labels, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, cut-corner aesthetic, and it can provide punchy emphasis in short UI or wayfinding-style text when used sparingly.
The overall tone feels tough and competitive, with a utilitarian, machined character that reads as sporty and industrial. Its faceted corners add a retro display flavor reminiscent of varsity and stencil-adjacent lettering, projecting confidence and impact.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through a compact, blocky silhouette and a consistent system of chamfered corners. Its faceted geometry suggests an intention to evoke engineered strength and retro sport signage while maintaining clear, straightforward letterforms.
The design emphasizes straight segments and corner cuts, producing strong texture in all-caps and a tight, rhythmic word shape in mixed case. Interior spaces stay open despite the mass, but the angular detailing becomes a defining feature at larger sizes where the facets are most visible.
