A heavy, block-built sans with faceted, chamfered corners that turn most curves into crisp planar cuts. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, creating a solid, high-ink silhouette and tight internal counters. The overall geometry feels square and compact, with squared terminals, occasional notches, and softened corners achieved through angled clipping rather than rounding. Numerals and caps maintain a consistent, sturdy rhythm, while lowercase forms echo the same cut-corner construction for a cohesive texture.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and bold packaging where its dense shapes and faceted detailing can carry impact. It can also work well for sports- and industrial-themed graphics, signage, and merchandise where a rugged, cut-metal look is desirable.
The faceted construction and dense color give the type a tough, utilitarian voice—confident, blunt, and high-impact. It reads as sporty and industrial, with a retro sign-painter/jersey sensibility that feels mechanical rather than friendly. The tone is attention-grabbing and direct, suited to messages that need to feel strong and uncompromising.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with an engineered, faceted aesthetic—replacing curves with chamfers to create a distinctive, hard-edged voice. Its consistent, blocky construction suggests a focus on strong legibility at large sizes and a memorable, badge-like presence.
Counters are relatively small and squarish, so the font’s texture stays dark and compact in longer lines. The distinctive clipped corners and occasional interior cutouts provide character at display sizes, where the angular detailing remains clear.
