A heavy, geometric sans with faceted construction: curves are largely replaced by straight segments and chamfered corners, yielding an octagonal, machined silhouette across rounds like O/C/G and digits. Strokes maintain an even, monoline feel with squared terminals and consistent corner cuts, creating a crisp, modular rhythm. Counters tend to be compact and angular, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and sturdy, reinforcing a blocky, engineered texture in words and numerals.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where its angular texture can read clearly: headlines, poster typography, esports and tech branding, product packaging, and signage/labels. It can also work for UI accents or section headers when a hard-edged, engineered tone is desired.
The overall tone is mechanical and forward-leaning without being italic—more "manufactured" than "handmade." Its sharp facets and firm weight suggest technology, equipment labeling, and competitive energy, with a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to modern, synthetic aesthetics.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, planar system—prioritizing strong silhouettes, repeatable corner logic, and an industrial finish that holds up in bold, high-impact applications.
The distinctive chamfers act as a unifying motif, giving both uppercase and lowercase a cohesive, stamped look. Numerals share the same faceted logic, supporting a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
