A compact, block-built sans with planar, chamfered corners that replace curves with straight facets. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with squared terminals and a consistently angular rhythm across rounds like C, O, and G. Counters are relatively tight and often rectangularized, while verticals dominate, giving the alphabet a rigid, engineered stance. The lowercase shares the same faceted construction and reads like a small-caps-informed system with a tall, sturdy core and minimal stroke modulation.
Well-suited to bold headlines, posters, and identity work where a hard-edged geometric voice is desirable. It can also work for sports branding, product packaging, signage, and UI/overlay graphics that benefit from a technical, faceted look. For paragraphs, it’s best used at larger sizes or with generous spacing to keep counters from closing in.
The overall tone is mechanical and utilitarian, with a distinct techno and scoreboard flavor. Its clipped geometry feels assertive and functional, suggesting equipment markings, sports identity, or sci‑fi interfaces rather than soft editorial typography.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, machine-cut aesthetic into a cohesive alphabet: straight segments, chamfered corners, and compact proportions that maintain consistent impact across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The numerals and caps are especially emphatic due to the repeated octagonal shaping, which produces crisp silhouettes and strong patterning in sequences. In text, the angular joins and tight counters create a dense, punchy texture that favors display sizes over long passages.
