A heavy, block-built sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted joins that replace most curves with straight segments. Strokes are consistently thick and largely uniform, producing crisp, planar counters in letters like O, C, and G, and giving rounds a cut-metal, octagonal feel. Proportions are compact with sturdy stems and squared terminals; diagonals (A, V, W, X) are strong and clean, while bowls and apertures are tight and geometric. Numerals follow the same clipped, engineered construction, maintaining a cohesive rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and identity work where an assertive, geometric voice is desired. It also fits sports branding, gear/apparel graphics, and packaging that benefits from a durable, machined aesthetic. In longer text, it works best at larger sizes where the angular counters and tight apertures remain clear.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-like character that reads as engineered and no-nonsense. The faceted geometry adds a rugged, tactical edge and a slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of stencil-free athletic and industrial marking styles.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, high-impact sans voice while distinguishing itself through consistent chamfered geometry. The systematic facet treatment suggests an intention to evoke manufactured materials and signage-like clarity without ornamental flourishes.
The design prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent angular detailing, so letterforms stay recognizable even when densely set. The frequent corner cuts create a distinctive texture line-to-line, especially in uppercase-heavy settings and short words.
