A heavy, geometric sans with crisp chamfered corners that turn bowls and rounds into faceted, near-octagonal forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even texture and strong vertical emphasis. Terminals are blunt and squared, while diagonals (as in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are steep and clean, giving the design a machined, cut-metal feel. Counters are compact and rectilinear, and numerals follow the same faceted construction for a highly uniform rhythm across letters and figures.
Well-suited to impactful headlines, labels, and display settings where a rugged, technical voice is desired. It can work effectively for signage, sports or equipment branding, game/UI titling, and packaging that benefits from an engineered, angular look.
The overall tone is technical and industrial, with an arcade/terminal flavor driven by the hard angles and disciplined repetition of facets. It feels sturdy, no-nonsense, and engineered—more like signage cut from sheet material than written forms.
The design appears intended to translate a simple sans skeleton into a faceted, cut-corner construction, prioritizing consistency and a strong, modular silhouette. Its primary goal is a distinctive industrial/tech presence with bold, easily recognized letterforms.
The faceting is applied consistently across both uppercase and lowercase, creating a distinctive silhouette that remains coherent in running text. The design’s tight counters and heavy mass favor clarity at larger sizes and high-contrast settings, while the grid-like regularity reinforces a systematic, tool-like character.
