A compact, all-caps–friendly display sans built from straight strokes and clipped corners, replacing curves with crisp chamfers and faceted joins. Strokes are consistently heavy with squared terminals, producing a rigid, modular rhythm and a strong grid fit. Counters tend toward squarish, octagonal shapes; circular letters like O, C, and G read as multi-sided forms, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are steep and tightly drawn. The lowercase follows the same geometric logic with simplified, blocky forms and minimal contrast between straight and diagonal elements, maintaining a dense, uniform texture in text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, team or club branding, apparel marks, and signage-style graphics. It also fits UI contexts that benefit from a rugged, game or console flavor—like HUD labels, menus, badges, and scoreboard numerals—where its angular silhouettes remain recognizable at moderate sizes.
The faceted geometry and hard corners convey a utilitarian, engineered tone—evoking industrial labeling, retro digital displays, and game-like or tactical aesthetics. Its tight proportions and emphatic weight feel assertive and functional, prioritizing impact over softness.
The letterforms appear intended to translate a hard-edged, faceted construction into a compact sans system, delivering a strong, uniform presence with a distinctly polygonal signature. The consistent chamfers and straight-line construction suggest a focus on reproducibility, clarity of silhouette, and a bold display voice.
The design’s chamfering is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, machined look. In running text, the heavy strokes and compact shapes create a dark, punchy color, with distinctive polygonal numerals that suit scoreboards and identifiers.
