A heavy, monoline sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. The shapes feel octagonal and engineered, with squared terminals and consistent stroke thickness that keeps color even across lines. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular or polygonal, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y and the leg of R) are cut cleanly to maintain the faceted logic. Overall proportions are sturdy and compact, with simplified construction that prioritizes bold silhouettes over delicate interior detail.
Best suited to display settings where high impact and quick recognition matter, such as headlines, posters, team or club identities, and bold labeling. It also fits UI titles, game/tech graphics, and product packaging that benefits from a rugged, engineered aesthetic.
The faceted geometry gives a machined, utilitarian voice that reads as tough and no-nonsense. Its look evokes sports numbering, industrial signage, and game-interface typography—confident, rigid, and slightly retro-futuristic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch using a consistent faceted construction, translating traditional sans forms into a sharp, polygonal system. It aims for strong readability at larger sizes while projecting an industrial, athletic character.
The design’s corner-cut rhythm is highly consistent, which helps word shapes stay cohesive at display sizes. Some glyphs lean toward stencil-like simplification through tight apertures and reduced curvature, producing strong, emblematic forms that favor impact over softness.
