A heavy, geometric sans built from straight strokes and crisp chamfered corners, replacing curves with planar facets. Bowls and counters are mostly rectangular or octagonal, with consistent stroke thickness and a compact, engineered rhythm. The design favors broad, stable silhouettes and firm horizontals/verticals, with distinctive diagonal cuts at terminals and corners that create a faceted, machined look. Numerals and lowercase follow the same angular construction, keeping forms rigid and tightly controlled for strong impact.
Best suited to display settings where the angular construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, branding marks, and short bursts of copy. It also works well for UI-style labels, sci‑fi or gaming graphics, and packaging that benefits from a tough, engineered presence. For longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is futuristic and industrial, evoking hardware interfaces, sci‑fi titling, and precision-cut signage. Its sharp corners and squared counters feel mechanical and assertive, projecting a no-nonsense, technical character. The overall impression is bold and synthetic rather than organic or friendly.
The design appears intended to translate a geometric sans into a faceted, hard-edged system with consistent corner cuts and squared counters. By minimizing curvature and emphasizing planar diagonals, it aims for high-impact, technical display typography that feels manufactured and contemporary.
Many glyphs use consistent corner chamfers that create an octagonal outer profile and squared inner counters, producing a crisp, stencil-like clarity without actual breaks. Round-derived letters (such as O/C/G and related lowercase) are rendered with flattened facets, giving the face a uniform, modular texture across lines of text.
