A heavy, block-constructed sans with octagonal, faceted contours that replace curves with crisp planar cuts. Strokes are predominantly vertical and horizontal with sharp corners, narrow internal counters, and frequent notch-like openings that create a stenciled, segmented feel without fully breaking forms apart. Proportions are compact and upright, with a tall, squared-off lowercase and a consistent, monolinear impression across the alphabet. Numerals and capitals share the same angular architecture, producing a dense, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, headline systems, sports and team marks, packaging fronts, and bold signage where its faceted silhouettes can read clearly. It performs particularly well in short bursts—titles, labels, and punchy statements—where the angular rhythm adds impact.
The faceted geometry and dense black shapes convey strength and utility, reading as bold, no-nonsense, and slightly militaristic. Its angular cuts add a retro-industrial flavor, evoking sports titling, machinery labels, and hard-edged display graphics.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through simplified, chiseled forms and consistent planar facets, prioritizing a strong silhouette and graphic presence over delicate detail. The segmented interior cuts suggest an intent to add texture and distinctiveness while keeping the overall structure solid and upright.
The design relies on tight apertures and minimal counters, so small sizes can fill in and become visually heavy, while larger settings emphasize the distinctive chamfered corners and internal slits. The repeated angular motif keeps headings cohesive but can make long passages feel intense.
