A heavy, all-caps–forward display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. The forms are tall and compact with squared counters and narrow apertures, creating a tight, vertical rhythm. Stems are thick and uniform in presence, while internal cut-ins and notched joins introduce sharp negative shapes (notably in B, R, S, and the numerals). Lowercase echoes the same geometric, chopped construction, with simplified bowls and strong vertical stress; spacing reads compact and headline-oriented rather than airy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, team and event branding, logos, badges, and packaging where its angular silhouettes can read at a glance. It also works well for large-format signage or labels that benefit from a rigid, machined look.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a bold, competitive energy reminiscent of varsity marking, stenciled labeling, and hard-edged signage. Its faceted construction lends a mechanical, no-nonsense feel that reads confident and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, faceted geometry—prioritizing strong silhouette recognition and a rugged, engineered aesthetic over long-form readability.
At text sizes the dense weight and tight interior spaces can merge, but at larger sizes the corner cuts and internal notches become the defining character. Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with prominent cut corners and sturdy silhouettes suitable for scoreboards or numbering systems.
