A heavy, all-caps-friendly sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with crisp planar cuts. Forms are generally geometric with squared counters (notably in B, D, O, P, R) and consistent diagonal truncations that create a faceted rhythm across the alphabet. The texture is dense and punchy, with sturdy verticals, short joins, and minimal modulation; many letters read as constructed from rectangular slabs with clipped terminals. Lowercase follows the same engineered logic with a tall x-height, compact apertures, and simplified bowls, keeping the silhouette tight and highly uniform at display sizes.
Best suited to display contexts where strong silhouettes matter: posters, headlines, branding marks, sports-themed graphics, event promotions, and packaging that needs a rugged, mechanical edge. It also works well for short labels, badges, and numeric-heavy applications like merchandise, team identifiers, or bold product codes.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and hard-edged retro signage. The angular cuts add a sense of motion and toughness, giving text an assertive, competitive voice that feels built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of cut metal, stenciled blocks, or athletic display lettering into a clean sans system, using consistent chamfers to create character without relying on curves or ornament. It prioritizes immediate legibility at large sizes and a distinctive, hard-edged texture in word shapes.
The faceting is applied consistently enough to make words feel cohesive, but the sharp corners and tight counters can visually fill in at small sizes. Numerals match the same clipped geometry, supporting a strong, scoreboard-like cadence in mixed alphanumeric settings.
