A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight segments. Bowls and rounds resolve into octagonal forms, while stems and terminals stay blunt and geometric, producing a strong stencil-like rhythm without actual breaks. Proportions are generally compact with sturdy verticals, a low-to-moderate aperture feel, and squared counters that remain open enough for headline clarity. Numerals and capitals carry the most architectural presence, with consistent corner cuts that unify the set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short emphatic lines where its angular construction can read as a deliberate style. It works well for sports branding, event posters, apparel graphics, and packaging that benefits from a rugged, high-impact presence.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, projecting strength, discipline, and a sporty toughness. Its angular facets evoke equipment labeling, varsity graphics, and hard-edged retro display lettering, giving text an energetic, competitive attitude.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact through simplified, planar geometry—turning curves into crisp facets for a tough, engineered look that holds up in bold display applications.
The faceting is applied consistently across curves, corners, and interior counters, which helps large text feel cohesive and engineered. The bold mass and tight interior shapes suggest it will visually fill space quickly, especially in all-caps settings.
