A condensed, faceted display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp planar cuts. Stems are heavy and mostly monolinear, with squared terminals and consistent chamfers that create an octagonal rhythm across rounds like C, O, and S. Counters are compact and rectangularized, and joins stay tight and mechanical, producing a tall, stacked silhouette with firm vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same cut-corner construction, keeping a uniform, sign-like geometry.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks where its faceted geometry can be appreciated—posters, branding marks, event titles, and product packaging. It also works well for signage and labels that benefit from a compact footprint and strong, high-impact letterforms.
The sharp bevels and rigid construction give the face an engineered, no-nonsense tone. It reads as tough and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of stenciled or machined lettering used for labeling and identification.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice with a signature cut-corner aesthetic, translating sans-serif structure into a machined, faceted look. Its disciplined geometry suggests a focus on clarity at display sizes and a distinctive industrial personality.
At text sizes the dense forms and narrow apertures can make long passages feel dark, while larger sizes highlight the distinctive chamfered details. The consistent corner treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures strengthens cohesion and makes the style immediately recognizable.
