A compact, heavy display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and planar facets. Counters and bowls read as squared-off octagons, with consistent stroke thickness and minimal contrast. The texture is dense and uniform, with short terminals, flat horizontals, and a tight rhythm that keeps words looking solid and mechanical. Numerals and capitals share the same angular geometry, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, simplified structure that stays legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to display work where its dense, angular texture can carry: headlines, posters, team/athletic branding, product packaging, and bold logotypes. It also fits UI or motion graphics for tech or industrial themes when used at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, athletic block lettering, and retro-futurist tech graphics. Its faceted construction gives it a hard-edged, engineered feel that reads confident and assertive in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, space-efficient sans with a distinctive faceted voice—combining the clarity of block lettering with an engineered, chamfered construction for strong recognition in branding and titling.
Diagonal joins and chamfered corners are used systematically, giving the face a distinctive octagonal silhouette across rounds like O/Q/0 and bowls like B/P/R. The set favors sturdy, closed shapes and compact apertures, prioritizing impact and consistency over delicacy.
