A heavy, all-caps-friendly display sans built from hard-edged planes, with chamfered corners and faceted joins standing in for curves. Strokes are uniformly thick and squared-off, producing dense, compact counters and a strong silhouette. The lowercase follows the same modular, angular construction with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders, keeping lines visually tight. Numerals are equally blocky and cut with consistent bevels, giving the set a cohesive, stamped or cut-out feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, game titles, and logo wordmarks. It can work in packaging or signage where a tough, industrial voice is desired, but it’s less appropriate for long passages or small text because the dense counters and heavy mass can reduce readability.
The overall tone is forceful and energetic, with a rugged, machined character that reads as assertive and attention-grabbing. Its sharp facets evoke action, sports branding, and arcade-era display lettering, projecting a bold, no-nonsense attitude.
The design appears intended as a bold display face that replaces curves with planar cuts to maximize impact and create a distinctive, engineered look. Its proportions and tight vertical rhythm suggest it was drawn to hold together in stacked lines and compact layouts while maintaining a punchy, graphic presence.
Faceting is applied consistently across the alphabet, creating a rhythmic pattern of diagonal cuts at corners and terminals. The tight internal spaces and strong weight favor larger sizes, where the angular detailing remains clear and the letterforms don’t crowd together.
