A compact, heavy sans with sharply chamfered corners and faceted, planar cuts that substitute for curves. Strokes are uniform and rectangular, with small triangular notches and clipped terminals creating an octagonal, engineered silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, emphasizing straight sides and firm geometry. Numerals follow the same faceted construction, with the 0 and 8 reading as octagonal forms and the 1 reduced to a simple stem.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and short display lines where strong, compact letterforms are needed. It fits sports branding and apparel graphics, as well as packaging, labels, and bold UI callouts that benefit from an assertive, engineered look.
The faceted construction and dense weight give a tough, no-nonsense tone that reads as sporty and industrial. Its clipped corners evoke varsity markings and utilitarian labeling, producing a confident, punchy voice suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in tight spaces by pairing condensed proportions with a distinctive faceted construction. The repeated chamfers and notched joints provide a consistent, easily recognizable motif that stays coherent across letters and figures.
Uppercase and lowercase share a closely related, block-built structure, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case settings. The design relies on repeated chamfers and notches for identity, so it presents best when those details are large enough to resolve clearly.
