A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with faceted, octagonal-like turns. Stems are uniform in thickness with blunt terminals, producing a firm, mechanical texture. Counters are compact and often polygonal, and bowls (such as in O and 0) read as clipped, multi-sided forms. The lowercase keeps the same hard-edged construction as the uppercase, with simplified, single-story shapes and tightly controlled interior space that increases density at text sizes.
Best suited to short-form display use such as headlines, branding marks, event posters, game titles, and UI elements where a hard-edged, technical voice is desired. It can work for brief passages at larger sizes, but the dense counters and faceted joins make it more effective for emphasis than for long reading.
The overall tone feels engineered and synthetic, evoking industrial labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and arcade-era display lettering. Its sharp corners and faceted rhythm convey precision and toughness rather than warmth or delicacy.
The type appears designed to translate a geometric, machine-cut aesthetic into a functional sans, prioritizing crisp silhouettes and repeatable angular construction. Its faceted approach suggests an intention to feel modern, robust, and system-like across both uppercase and lowercase.
The design leans on consistent corner chamfers as a unifying motif, giving the alphabet a cohesive, modular feel. Spacing in the sample text reads fairly tight, reinforcing a compact, poster-friendly color while still keeping letterforms distinct.
