A heavy, geometric display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with planar facets. The forms are largely rectangular with octagonal outer silhouettes, consistent chamfering, and square counters that read like cutouts. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with compact apertures and minimal internal detailing, producing dense, high-ink shapes. Lowercase echoes the uppercase structure with a tall, sturdy x-height and simplified bowls; figures are similarly faceted, with a squared, sign-like construction.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and branding where bold, angular forms need to command attention. It also fits sports and esports identities, packaging callouts, game interfaces, and signage-style graphics that benefit from a rugged, geometric texture.
The overall tone is tough and mechanical, with a punchy, no-nonsense presence that evokes stenciled hardware, sports markings, and arcade-era lettering. The sharp corner breaks add a techno edge while keeping the rhythm assertive and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified, faceted geometry—trading smooth curves for beveled corners to create a fabricated, industrial voice that holds up well in large, high-contrast applications.
The faceting is applied consistently across straight and rounded archetypes, giving the alphabet a unified “machined” look. Spacing appears designed for compact, headline setting, where the dense silhouettes create strong texture and visual weight.
