A heavy, angular sans with chamfered corners and faceted, near-octagonal geometry standing in for curves. Strokes are built from straight segments with consistent thickness, producing crisp internal counters and squared-off terminals. Many forms show deliberate notch-like cut-ins and stepped joints, giving the outlines a machined, modular feel. Proportions lean wide with compact apertures and sturdy bowls, and the rhythm is tight and emphatic, especially in uppercase and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, and logo wordmarks where the faceted silhouettes can dominate. It also fits industrial or tech branding, game UI headings, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a machined, hard-edged voice. For long text, it works more as a display accent than a primary reading face.
The faceted construction and hard corners convey a tech-forward, utilitarian tone—more engineered than expressive. It reads as assertive and game-adjacent, with a rugged, sci‑fi signage energy that suggests equipment labels, vehicles, or on-screen HUD typography.
The design appears intended to translate a futuristic, fabricated aesthetic into letterforms by replacing curves with planar facets and cut corners. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a consistent modular build, aiming for bold presence and a distinctly mechanical identity in display typography.
The lowercase largely echoes the uppercase’s geometric logic, keeping the overall texture uniform and dense. Numerals are similarly squared and chiseled, with clear, bold silhouettes that favor impact over subtlety.
