A heavy, faceted sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with angular planes. The forms are broad and squat with wide, rectangular counters (notably in O, D, and 0) and consistent stroke thickness that keeps a crisp, monolithic silhouette. Terminals tend to end in horizontal cuts or diagonal chamfers, creating a rhythmic, modular feel across the alphabet. Diagonals are used sparingly but decisively in letters like A, K, M, N, V, W, X, Y, and Z, maintaining a tight, engineered geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, esports or gaming UI elements, and bold logo/wordmark work. It can also work for packaging or product naming where an industrial or high-tech voice is desired, while long paragraphs may feel visually dense due to the heavy, block-like construction.
The overall tone is hard-edged and mechanical, evoking sci‑fi interfaces, motorsport graphics, and industrial labeling. Its sharp facets and dense black shapes feel assertive and high-impact, with a sleek, synthetic character rather than a humanist one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, engineered display voice by translating round shapes into planar facets and consistent, chunky strokes. Its geometry prioritizes strong silhouette and a tech-forward presence over softness or calligraphic nuance.
The design favors open, rectangular apertures and simplified joins, which helps keep letterforms recognizable despite the extreme squareness. In the sample text, the texture reads strongly at display sizes, with the faceting producing a distinctive “cut metal” aesthetic.
