A compact, all-caps-friendly sans with strongly angular construction and consistent stroke weight. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, producing a faceted, octagonal feel in bowls and terminals. Proportions are condensed with tight interior counters and a steady vertical rhythm; diagonals are crisp and geometric, and joins stay clean rather than calligraphic. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic, with simple, upright forms and squared-off shoulders that keep texture even in longer lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks where a dense, angular texture can carry personality at larger sizes. It also fits sports or esports branding, product packaging, labels, and UI titling where a technical, hard-edged voice supports the message. Use with a bit of tracking when needed to open up tight counters in longer lines.
The overall tone is mechanical and workmanlike, reading as engineered rather than expressive. Its sharp facets and condensed stance evoke industrial labeling, arcade-era digital aesthetics, and performance-oriented branding where clarity and punch matter more than softness.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric, faceted construction into a practical sans that stays legible while projecting a technical, industrial character. By standardizing stroke weight and relying on chamfers instead of curves, it aims for consistency across letters and numerals and a strong silhouette in compact settings.
Uppercase and figures appear especially optimized for compact display, with distinctive straight-sided bowls (notably in rounded letters) and clipped terminals that help maintain consistent density. The numerals share the same chamfered geometry, giving date-setting and short numeric strings a unified, stenciled-like firmness without actual breaks.
