A compact, angular sans with strongly faceted construction: curves are replaced by beveled, planar cuts that create an octagonal, chiseled silhouette. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared terminals and frequent diagonal chamfers that keep counters tight and shapes sturdy. The overall rhythm is slightly forward-leaning and dynamic, with condensed proportions and a crisp, mechanical edge that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and graphic-heavy applications like esports identities or apparel marks. It can also work for labels, packaging callouts, and UI headers where a compact, impact-driven style is needed, but it’s likely to feel dense in long-form reading.
The face projects a tough, high-impact tone—assertive and kinetic—suggesting speed, machinery, and competition. Its faceted geometry gives a retro-tech flavor that can read as sporty or tactical depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to translate the language of cut metal and chamfered panels into a typographic system: sturdy, compact letterforms with a forward motion and a distinctive faceted signature. It prioritizes punch and character over neutrality, aiming for a bold display presence in branding and promotional settings.
Uppercase forms are especially architectural, with prominent corner cuts that emphasize a stenciled-by-machine feel without true stencil gaps. Lowercase retains the same faceting and weight, producing a cohesive texture in mixed-case settings, while numerals share the same beveled geometry for a unified display voice.
