A heavy, block-constructed sans with pronounced chamfered corners that turn most curves into crisp facets. Strokes remain consistent in thickness, while counters and interior shapes often echo an octagonal, cut-in geometry. Proportions are compact with sturdy verticals, squared terminals, and a tight, punchy rhythm that stays uniform across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The overall texture is dense and high-contrast against the page due to the large black shapes and simplified joins.
Best suited for display typography where impact and immediate recognition matter: sports branding, team numbers, apparel graphics, event posters, and strong headline systems. It can also work for bold wayfinding or labels when ample size and spacing are available to preserve the angular counters and cut-ins.
The faceted construction gives the type a sporty, hard-edged energy that reads as utilitarian and no-nonsense. Its geometric cuts suggest equipment markings and team apparel—confident, rugged, and slightly nostalgic in a varsity/scoreboard direction. The tone is bold and direct rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to translate the feel of athletic block lettering into a more geometric, faceted system, replacing rounded gestures with consistent chamfers for a tougher, engineered look. The emphasis is on uniform punch, cohesion across character sets, and a distinctive silhouette that holds up in high-contrast applications.
Diagonal strokes are kept straightforward and wedge-like, and many letters use clipped corners to imply roundness without true curves. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, keeping the set cohesive and sign-like. At smaller sizes the dense forms may merge visually, while at display sizes the faceting becomes a defining stylistic detail.
