A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and chamfered corners, replacing curves with clean facets. Counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, with consistent stroke thickness and crisp right angles throughout. Proportions are broad with a steady, squared rhythm; uppercase forms feel compact and sturdy, while lowercase maintains a simple, engineered construction with minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, producing a uniform, signage-like texture in text.
Well-suited for short-to-medium display settings where its cut-corner geometry can read clearly: headlines, posters, logos, product marks, packaging, and sports or team-style branding. It also fits UI or on-screen labeling when a strong, engineered aesthetic is desired and text is kept at larger sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and modern, with a rugged, mechanical edge. Its faceted geometry suggests precision and durability, creating a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as tech-forward and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary sans with a distinctive faceted construction—trading softness for crisp, machined angles to create instant impact and a technical, industrial character.
Diagonal joins are handled with clear bevels rather than smooth joins, which keeps forms sharp at display sizes and emphasizes the font’s planar construction. The face maintains a consistent visual system across caps, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, modular feel.
