A heavy, blocky sans with chamfered corners and faceted, planar curves that read as clipped rounds rather than true arcs. Strokes are largely monoline with squared terminals, producing dense, compact counters and a strong, even color in text. Proportions lean sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with tight interior spaces in letters like B, R, and 8, and a generally tall lowercase presence that keeps mixed-case settings punchy. Numerals and capitals follow the same octagonal, cut-corner construction for a consistent, hard-edged rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, short subheads, and display copy where bold texture and strong silhouettes are an advantage. The sturdy, faceted forms also fit branding for sports, fitness, automotive, tools, and packaging, as well as signage and labels that benefit from an industrial, high-impact look.
The faceted construction and stout silhouettes give the type a tough, utilitarian voice with a sporty, varsity-adjacent energy. It feels confident and attention-grabbing, with a hint of retro arcade or machinery labeling due to the clipped corners and modular geometry.
The font appears designed to translate a soft sans skeleton into a hard, engineered display voice by replacing curves with angled facets and reinforcing forms with thick, compact shapes. The consistent chamfering suggests an intention toward emblematic, stamp-like impact and reliable visual cohesion across letters and numerals.
The design’s readability is driven more by silhouette than by generous counters, so it performs best when allowed some size and breathing room. The consistent chamfer motif ties together round forms (O, C, G) and straight-sided letters (E, H, N) into a unified, emblem-like style.
