A compact, heavy sans with octagonal, chamfered terminals that replace curves with straight facets. Strokes keep a consistent thickness and form crisp corners, creating a strongly geometric rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are relatively tight and squarish, and round letters (O, C, G, Q) read as faceted polygons rather than true bowls. Lowercase forms stay straightforward and utilitarian, with short ascenders/descenders and a simple, single-story structure where applicable; numerals follow the same clipped, angular construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, sports branding, team merchandise, and logo lockups where an assertive, engineered feel is desired. It also works well for labels, UI headers, and signage-style titling when you want compact impact and crisp, angular texture.
The overall tone is tough and functional, evoking sports uniforms, equipment labeling, and industrial signage. Its faceted geometry adds a subtle sci‑fi and tactical edge, while the compact proportions keep it punchy and assertive in short bursts.
The design appears intended to translate the visual language of block lettering into a cleaner, modern system by substituting curves with controlled chamfers. The consistent faceting and steady stroke weight suggest a focus on durability, reproducibility, and high-impact display typography.
The sharp cornering and reduced curvature create strong patterning at display sizes, but the tight apertures and dense color can make long text feel forceful and busy. The faceting is applied consistently, giving the face a cohesive, engineered look.
