A heavy, geometric sans with octagonal construction and consistent chamfered corners that replace curves with crisp planar facets. Strokes are uniformly thick, producing compact counters and strong, block-like silhouettes. The forms lean on straight verticals and horizontals with occasional stepped diagonals, giving letters a modular, engineered rhythm. Uppercase shapes are wide and sturdy, while the lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic with simplified bowls and terminals for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short display lines where its dense weight and faceted construction can read cleanly at size. It works well for branding that wants an industrial or tech-forward feel—such as gaming titles, team marks, product labels, or packaging—especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone feels tough and mechanical, with a retro-digital edge reminiscent of stenciled hardware labels and classic arcade UI. Its sharp facets and dense color create an assertive, no-nonsense voice that reads as functional, futuristic, and slightly aggressive.
The design appears intended to translate a strict, machined geometry into a bold display sans, prioritizing impact and consistent angularity over softness. By minimizing curvature and emphasizing clipped corners, it aims to deliver a rugged, modernistic texture that remains legible in large, attention-grabbing applications.
Distinctive notch-like joins and clipped terminals create a consistent “cut metal” look across letters and numerals. The numerals are especially punchy and squarish, built from the same faceted geometry, which helps the set feel unified in compact, high-contrast settings.
