A heavy, block-built sans with crisp chamfered corners that replace most curves with flat facets. Strokes are uniform and squared off, with counters tending toward octagonal/rectilinear shapes and clearly cut terminals. Proportions are compact with a steady cap height and a straightforward, upright construction; the alphabet shows purposeful angular joins in diagonals and sharp notches where rounds would normally appear. Numerals follow the same faceted geometry, reading like cut metal plates with consistent corner angles.
Best suited for display roles where the faceted silhouettes can read at a glance: posters, headlines, sports identities, team uniforms, and bold packaging callouts. It also fits interface labels and game or tech graphics where a rugged, geometric voice is desired, while longer passages may feel dense due to the heavy, angular texture.
The faceted construction gives the font a tough, engineered feel—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly militaristic or sports-signage adjacent. Its sharp geometry also leans into a retro arcade/techno tone, suggesting impact, motion, and rugged utility rather than warmth or elegance.
The design appears intended to translate industrial, cut-corner geometry into a sturdy, high-impact alphabet that remains legible while emphasizing a fabricated, sign-like presence. By consistently substituting curves with planar facets, it aims to deliver a distinctive, durable voice for branding and display typography.
In text, the strong verticals and frequent corner cuts create a rhythmic, mechanical texture, especially in mixed-case settings. The design maintains a consistent chamfer angle across glyphs, which reinforces cohesion and makes the font feel intentionally fabricated rather than simply squared-off.
