A compact, heavy sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar facets. Counters and bowls read as squared/ocagonal forms, giving O/C/G and the numerals a chamfered, sign-like geometry. Stroke terminals are abrupt and flat, with consistent stroke weight and tight internal spacing that produces dense, dark word shapes. The lowercase maintains the same engineered, faceted construction as the caps, with simple, sturdy joins and minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports branding, and bold logotypes. It can also work for packaging or wayfinding-style graphics where a rugged, engineered look is desirable, especially at larger sizes where the faceted detailing stays clear.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, scoreboard-and-jersey sensibility. Its angular cuts and dense color convey strength, urgency, and a slightly retro industrial character.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional heavy sans into a sharply machined, polygonal style, emphasizing strength and clarity through clipped corners and simplified, high-contrast silhouettes at display sizes.
The rhythm is driven by repeated chamfers and rectangular counters, which helps letters lock into a uniform, blocky texture. Figures follow the same faceted logic, giving numerals a durable, label-friendly presence.
