A heavy, block-constructed sans with sharp chamfered corners and planar facets that substitute for curves. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, with tight apertures and minimal interior rounding, creating a dense, compact texture. Strokes stay monoline and geometric, while angled cuts at terminals and joins give letters an octagonal, machined feel. The lowercase echoes the same faceted construction, with short extenders and squared bowls, producing a uniform, punchy rhythm in words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, posters, headlines, merchandise, and bold packaging or label work. It also fits wayfinding-style titles or UI badges where a tough, geometric presence is desired, especially when set with generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a rugged, engineered character that reads as athletic and industrial. Its crisp facets and compressed counters evoke signage, equipment labeling, and vintage team or campus graphics, delivering an energetic, competitive voice.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a constructed, faceted geometry that stays consistent across the alphabet and figures. The intention reads as a display face that replaces smooth curves with chamfers to create a sturdy, industrial and sporty impression.
The design leans on consistent corner cuts across rounds and diagonals, which helps maintain cohesion at display sizes. Because counters and apertures are tight, the heaviest densities can visually close up in long text or at small sizes, making spacing and size choice important.
