A heavy, all-caps–friendly sans built from straight strokes and sharply cut corners, replacing curves with chamfered, octagonal facets. Stems are thick and mostly uniform, with angled terminals and frequent diagonal cuts at joins that create a crisp, mechanical rhythm. Counters tend to be squared-off and polygonal (notably in O/0 and B/P), while letters like S and G are constructed from segmented planes rather than continuous curves. Lowercase follows the same faceted construction, with compact bowls and notched joints that keep the texture dense and emphatic.
Best suited to short, bold applications where its faceted construction can be appreciated—headlines, team branding, event posters, product marks, and packaging. It can also work for labels and display-style signage where a tough, industrial presence is desired, but its dense texture makes it less ideal for extended body copy.
The overall tone feels rugged and engineered, with strong associations to sport numbering, utilitarian signage, and retro-digital display aesthetics. Its hard-edged geometry reads assertive and functional rather than friendly, projecting a no-nonsense, high-impact voice.
The design appears intended to translate the language of beveled plates and cut metal into a compact display sans, delivering strong impact and a distinctive geometric signature. By swapping curves for planar facets, it aims for a mechanical, sporty clarity that remains recognizable across letters and numerals.
The distinctive chamfer vocabulary is applied consistently across letters and numerals, helping maintain cohesion in mixed-case settings. Diagonal cuts and notches introduce small internal highlights that can add visual interest at larger sizes, while also increasing texture in longer text.
