A condensed, all-caps-friendly display sans built from straight strokes and sharp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal turns. Stems are thick and uniform with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be narrow and vertically oriented, giving letters a tall, compact silhouette. Joins and terminals are consistently cut with angled facets, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the faceted detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It works especially well for sports branding, event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold signage systems that benefit from a compact width and high visual impact.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with an athletic and industrial edge. Its faceted construction suggests machinery, signage, and performance branding, reading as assertive and no-nonsense while retaining a retro sports/jersey flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tightly packed width, using consistent chamfers and planar cuts to create a distinctive, engineered identity. Its geometry prioritizes clarity and firmness over softness, aiming for a rugged, modern-utility look with strong branding presence.
The lowercase largely mirrors the uppercase structure, reinforcing a consistent, sign-like texture in mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same chamfered logic and maintain a compact footprint, supporting tight, punchy lines with a strong vertical cadence.
