A compact, blocky sans with chamfered corners and an octagonal, cut-metal construction. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with squared terminals and angular joins that keep counters tight and forms mechanically rigid. The texture shows scattered wear and speckling within strokes, creating a rough-printed look while maintaining clean, consistent geometry and strong silhouette legibility.
Best suited to display settings where impact and grit are desired: posters, editorial headlines, brand marks, labels, and packaging with an industrial or outdoor flavor. It also fits sports-inspired graphics and wayfinding-style compositions, especially when set large where the textured distressing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking stamped signage, equipment labeling, and athletic jersey numbering. The distressed surface adds a weathered, hard-used attitude without pushing the design into chaos, so it still reads as engineered and purposeful.
The design appears intended to combine a condensed, high-impact block letterbase with a subtly worn print texture, delivering an industrial/athletic voice that feels manufactured and battle-tested. Its angular construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and quick recognition in bold display typography.
Round characters such as C, G, O, and 0 are built from straight segments with clipped corners, reinforcing a technical, plate-cut feel. The numerals are particularly sign-like, with broad faces and simplified interior shapes that hold up well at larger display sizes.
