A heavy, blocky sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by chamfered corners and clipped terminals that read as octagonal forms. Strokes are mostly uniform with minimal modulation, producing a firm, dark texture and strong, even rhythm in headlines. Capitals sit tall with squared shoulders and consistent verticals, while lowercase keeps similarly rigid geometry; bowls and counters are angular and compact, often with straight-sided interiors. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with simple, geometric silhouettes and tight apertures that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited for display settings where bold presence is desirable: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports or club branding, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short, punchy signage or interface labels where an industrial, hard-edged tone is intended.
The faceted geometry gives a rugged, industrial tone with a sporty, badge-like confidence. Its sharp corners and dense weight feel assertive and mechanical, evoking utilitarian signage, team lettering, and retro arcade or poster aesthetics rather than a neutral, everyday voice.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a sans structure into a faceted, cut-metal aesthetic, trading smooth curves for planar edges to maximize impact and stylistic cohesion. The consistent corner clipping across cases and numerals suggests a deliberate system aimed at strong recognition and graphic punch.
The design’s clipped corners create strong pixel-like facets without becoming grid-dependent, helping it stay bold and legible at display sizes. The tight counters and squared joins can look dense in long lines, reinforcing its role as a statement face rather than extended text.
