A heavy, geometric sans with crisp, straight-sided strokes and distinctly tapered terminals that often cut on diagonal angles. Curves are broad and clean, with squared-off joins and a slightly engineered feel; counters tend to be compact, and apertures are relatively tight, reinforcing a solid, blocky color on the page. The uppercase reads sturdy and constructed, while the lowercase keeps simple forms with a single-storey a and a rounded, efficient rhythm. Figures match the overall mass and maintain clear silhouettes, especially in the round forms.
Best suited for headlines, short copy, and identity work where a strong, constructed voice is desirable. It can work well in sports and tech branding, packaging, posters, and punchy UI labels where clarity and impact matter more than airy text color.
The font projects a contemporary, high-energy tone—confident and slightly aggressive due to its sharp terminals and dense texture. Its engineered geometry suggests performance, technology, and modern branding rather than softness or neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, contemporary sans with a distinctive cut-terminal motif—combining geometric foundations with sculpted stroke endings to create a recognizable, high-impact display voice.
The repeated use of wedge-like cuts and angled endings creates a consistent “machined” signature across letters, helping it stand out at display sizes. In longer text, the tight apertures and strong weight produce a dark, emphatic paragraph texture that favors headlines over extended reading.
