A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Counters and bowls are mostly octagonal, with uniform stroke thickness and squared terminals that emphasize a cut, mechanical silhouette. Proportions are sturdy and compact with a consistent cap height presence; lowercase forms echo the same faceted construction, keeping rhythm tight and highly regular. Numerals follow the same polygonal logic, with strong, closed shapes and clear angular apertures.
Best suited for display applications where the angular detailing can be appreciated—headlines, posters, logos, sports identifiers, product packaging, and bold UI labels. It also works well for short blocks of text in branded contexts where a hard-edged, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone feels rugged and utilitarian, evoking signage, equipment labeling, and competitive sports or arcade aesthetics. Its sharp facets add an engineered, tactical edge that reads confident and assertive rather than friendly or conversational.
The design appears intended to translate the visual language of octagonal, machined forms into a straightforward sans structure, prioritizing impact and consistency. By systematically chamfering corners and simplifying curves into facets, it aims for high recognition and a distinctive, engineered personality in display settings.
The faceting is applied consistently across round letters (C, G, O, Q) and diagonals (K, V, W, X), creating a cohesive, logo-like texture. At smaller sizes the dense shapes and tight internal spaces can make text feel compact, while at display sizes the cut corners become a defining stylistic feature.
