A heavy, block-constructed display sans with chamfered corners and faceted, octagonal counters that substitute for curves. Strokes are straight and planar, with small diagonal cuts at joins and terminals that create a consistent angular rhythm across rounds like O, C, G, and S. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, squared shoulders, and simplified apertures; spacing is even and the texture reads dense and uniform in lines of text. The lowercase echoes the same geometry with single-storey forms and angular bowls, maintaining a strong, modular feel.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, badges, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for wayfinding-style labels or product marks where a rugged, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking sports lettering, machinery, and hard-edged signage. Its faceted construction adds a retro-tech flavor that feels assertive and functional rather than elegant.
The letterforms appear designed to translate traditional block signage into a faceted, geometric system, maximizing impact while keeping curves consistently “cut” into planar angles. The aim is a cohesive, sturdy display face that reads quickly and projects strength.
The design relies on repeated chamfers to unify the alphabet, giving both caps and numerals a cohesive, badge-like presence. In paragraphs it produces a strong, dark typographic color, best suited to larger sizes where the angular detailing stays crisp.
