A heavy, faceted display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with chamfered, polygonal turns. Forms are compact with broad verticals and flat terminals, producing an octagonal, sign-like skeleton across rounds such as C, O, and G. Counters tend to be squared-off and relatively tight, with a consistently mechanical rhythm and minimal modulation. Lowercase echoes the uppercase geometry with simplified bowls and notches, and numerals follow the same cut-corner construction for strong, uniform color.
Best suited to large-scale settings where its faceted construction can be appreciated, such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and product packaging. It also fits sports or team-style graphics, apparel, and UI accents that benefit from a compact, industrial voice. For long passages, it works most comfortably in short bursts like titles, pull quotes, or labels.
The overall tone is rugged and engineered, suggesting stamped metal, athletic lettering, or utilitarian labeling. Its sharp planes and compact shapes give it a tactical, arcade-adjacent feel that reads as assertive and no-nonsense rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, high-impact voice using planar geometry and clipped corners to evoke hardware, signage, and athletic or game-inspired lettering. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and consistent, machined construction over organic curves or calligraphic nuance.
The repeated corner cuts create a distinctive texture at text sizes, with recognizable notches in letters like S, G, a, and e. Spacing appears geared toward display use, keeping words dense and cohesive while preserving clear silhouettes.
