A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers that create an octagonal, faceted silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, stable letterforms and clear horizontal/vertical structure. Counters tend toward squared or polygonal shapes, apertures are relatively tight, and terminals are blunt or angled, giving the alphabet a mechanical, constructed feel. Spacing reads slightly compact in text, with strong, blocky rhythm and clear differentiation in key shapes like O/0, I/1, and the angular diagonals in V/W/X/Y.
Best suited to display settings where the angular geometry can read clearly at larger sizes: headlines, posters, packaging, team or athletic branding, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works well for short labels and wayfinding-style signage where a rugged, constructed texture is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, evoking sports uniforms, machinery labeling, and retro-futurist display typography. Its sharp facets and compact rhythm lend a no-nonsense, performance-oriented voice that feels both digital and industrial.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, machined aesthetic into a practical sans, emphasizing straight cuts and chamfered corners for a distinctive, high-impact texture. It aims for strong recognizability and a consistent polygonal system across the full basic set.
The faceting is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a unified system of chamfered corners and polygonal bowls. The lowercase retains a sturdy, simplified construction that keeps text cohesive, while the numerals match the same clipped geometry for a uniform headline-and-UI palette.
