A heavy, block-built sans with crisp planar facets replacing most curves. Strokes are broad and uniform with abrupt corner breaks, producing a chiseled silhouette and a tight, compact internal spacing. Round letters like O/C/G are squared-off and chamfered, while diagonals (V/W/Y) are sturdy and wide, giving the alphabet a strong, poster-like rhythm. Lowercase forms are robust and simplified, with sturdy stems and minimal modulation, keeping a consistent, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format typography where its angular facets and dense weight can read as intentional shape language. It also fits sports branding, packaging, and signage that needs a compact, high-impact voice. For longer text, it benefits from larger sizes and added spacing to keep the texture from feeling overly dark.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a machined, hard-edged confidence. Its faceted geometry evokes industrial signage and athletic branding, reading as bold, competitive, and slightly retro in spirit.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through simplified, chiseled geometry—prioritizing a bold silhouette, consistent faceting, and quick recognizability in display settings.
The design maintains consistent corner treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals, which helps it feel coherent at display sizes. The dense letterforms and tight counters suggest it will feel darker in paragraphs and more comfortable when given generous tracking and leading.
