A heavy, block-built sans with sharply faceted corners and planar cuts that replace most curves. Strokes are thick and uniform, with squared terminals and polygonal counters that read as cut-outs rather than smooth bowls. The rhythm is compact and punchy, with sturdy verticals, simplified diagonals, and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel across shapes, while maintaining consistent weight and strong silhouette clarity. Numerals follow the same octagonal, stencil-like geometry, emphasizing hard angles and broad faces.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, event posters, sports or team identities, bold logo marks, and packaging where the faceted geometry can be appreciated. It can also work for display UI elements like badges, labels, or title cards when strong presence and a rugged, constructed texture are desired.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, like lettering cut from metal plate or carved into signage, while the exaggerated angles also add a game-like, energetic personality. It suggests impact and motion more than refinement, landing between workwear ruggedness and retro arcade/scoreboard styling.
The design appears intended to translate a carved or cut-material aesthetic into a sturdy display sans, prioritizing bold silhouettes and angular facets over smooth curvature. Its geometry aims to be immediately legible at large sizes while delivering a distinctive, industrial texture in both caps and lowercase.
Counters and apertures tend to be small and angular, which increases density at smaller sizes but strengthens poster-level impact. The faceting introduces a distinctive texture in text lines, creating a deliberate, mechanical cadence rather than smooth typographic flow.
