A sharply angular sans with planar, chamfered joins that replace most curves with straight segments. Strokes stay largely uniform and crisp, producing an engineered, cut-metal feel with frequent 45° facets and octagonal bowls (notably in O/Q and the numerals). The caps are compact and sturdy, while the lowercase mixes simple geometric forms with distinct, squared counters and blunt terminals; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read cleanly and emphatically. Spacing appears straightforward and functional, and the overall construction prioritizes clarity through hard edges and consistent geometry.
Best suited to display settings where its sharp facets can read as a deliberate style choice: headlines, logotypes, event and poster typography, sports or team graphics, and industrial/wayfinding-style signage. It also works well for short UI labels or product markings where a technical, machined aesthetic is desired.
The faceted geometry gives a mechanical, industrial tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly retro. It evokes equipment labeling, sports numbering, and techno interfaces, with a rugged, fabricated character rather than a soft, humanist voice.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, manufactured form—like letters cut from plate or routed with a chamfer bit—balancing straightforward legibility with a distinctive angular signature.
Distinctive details include an octagonal ‘0’ and rounded forms rendered as multi-sided shapes, plus a ‘Q’ with a small angular tail. The lowercase ‘g’ appears single-storey with a squared, inset counter, reinforcing the font’s cut-and-chamfer motif. Numerals are bold and sign-like, designed to stand out in short strings.
