A heavy, geometric sans with chamfered corners and faceted curves that read as octagonal rather than round. Strokes are monolinear and square-ended, with consistent thickness and a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Counters tend toward rectangular and clipped forms, and joins are clean and mechanical; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are straight and crisp. Spacing feels generous and stable, supporting all-caps settings and compact, blocky lowercase forms that keep the same faceted construction.
Best suited for display work where its faceted structure can be a defining visual element—headlines, posters, identity marks, and product branding. It also fits UI or wayfinding-style settings when you want a technical, industrial voice with strong shape recognition at larger sizes.
The overall tone is futuristic and utilitarian, suggesting machinery, interfaces, and precision-cut signage. Its clipped geometry adds a sporty, tactical edge that feels decisive and modern rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate familiar sans-serif skeletons into a hard-edged, planar system, replacing curves with clipped facets for a manufactured, high-impact look. Consistent stroke weight and disciplined geometry emphasize clarity and a bold, modern presence.
Numerals follow the same octagonal logic, with squared bowls and clipped terminals that stay highly consistent across the set. The lowercase includes single-storey forms (notably a and g) and maintains a compact, engineered silhouette that pairs well with the more assertive uppercase.
