A heavy, geometric sans with sharp planar cuts that replace curves, producing octagonal counters and chamfered terminals throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with squared verticals and diagonally notched joins that create a consistent faceted rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase maintains sturdy, compact shapes with minimal rounding, while figures follow the same clipped geometry for strong, sign-like clarity at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, angular voice is needed. It works especially well for sports graphics, product packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from high-impact shapes and a rugged geometric texture.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, no-nonsense presence reminiscent of equipment marking, team lettering, and bold labeling. Its crisp facets and compressed curves give it a mechanical, engineered feel that reads as confident and direct.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a bold sans skeleton into a faceted, cut-corner aesthetic, prioritizing uniform weight and repeatable angles for a cohesive, industrial look. The consistent chamfering suggests an intention to evoke machined or stamped lettering while staying highly legible at display sizes.
The design relies on repeated corner chamfers and straight-edged construction to unify the set, making bowls, joints, and diagonals feel cut from the same template. The dense color and simplified internal spaces favor impact over delicacy, and the faceting becomes a defining texture in longer lines of text.
