A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared forms and frequent chamfered corners that create a cut-metal silhouette. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, and joins are blunt with minimal curvature, giving the letters a machined, modular feel. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometry with a tall, sturdy presence, while spacing and word shapes read as dense and punchy in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where strong silhouettes carry the message quickly. It works well for sports and team graphics, industrial or tech-flavored packaging, and attention-grabbing signage, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sports identity, and retro display typography. Its sharp corners and compact apertures produce a hard-edged, no-nonsense voice that prioritizes impact over softness.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans built from simple, angular modules, using chamfers and notches to create a distinctive stamped or engineered identity. It emphasizes solidity and presence, aiming for immediate recognizability in short phrases and logos.
Many glyphs incorporate notched or clipped corners that add rhythm and emphasize a fabricated look. The tight interior space in letters like a, e, s, and g increases darkness in running text, making the face most comfortable at larger sizes where the cut details remain clear.
