A heavy, all-caps-forward display face built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp facets. Letterforms feel compact and strongly geometric, with squared counters and octagonal silhouettes in rounded characters like O, C, and G. Strokes are uniform and dense, terminals are flat, and the overall rhythm is tight with sturdy verticals and simplified joins. Numerals follow the same cut-corner construction, producing bold, sign-like figures with clear, blocky shapes.
Best for large sizes where the sharp, cut-corner silhouettes can carry impact—headlines, posters, team or event graphics, and bold logo wordmarks. It also suits packaging and labels that need a rugged, attention-grabbing voice, and can work for short UI or signage callouts when high contrast against the background is available.
The design reads loud and resolute, with a utilitarian toughness that evokes athletic marking, stenciled signage, and bold retail headlines. Its faceted geometry adds a slightly retro, varsity-adjacent flavor while staying clean and modern in overall construction.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight with clean, manufacturable geometry, using chamfered corners to suggest strength and precision while maintaining simple, highly legible block forms.
The faceting is consistent across the set, giving the alphabet a cohesive, machined look and strong silhouette recognition at a distance. In longer lines, the dense color and tight interior spaces create a punchy texture best suited to short bursts rather than delicate reading.
