A heavy, geometric sans built from squared forms with chamfered, faceted corners and a mostly even stroke. Curves are largely replaced by straight segments, producing octagonal counters and boxy bowls, while terminals are softened with small radiused ends for a molded, engineered feel. Proportions are broad with a prominent x-height, and the overall rhythm is compact and blocklike, with deliberate inktraps/gaps in some joins that reinforce the constructed, modular look. Numerals follow the same faceted logic, staying sturdy and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its faceted construction can be appreciated: branding and logotypes, headlines, posters, tech product packaging, UI titles, and wayfinding or labels. It can work for short paragraphs in promotional settings, but its heavy texture favors concise copy and larger point sizes.
The faceted geometry and robust weight give the font a sci‑fi and industrial tone, reminiscent of hardware labeling, arcade UI, and sports-tech branding. It reads assertive and functional, with a crisp, engineered personality rather than a friendly or literary one.
The letterforms appear designed to translate a mechanical, panel-cut aesthetic into a clean sans, prioritizing impact and quick recognition. The faceted corner system suggests an intention to evoke precision and modernity while keeping forms sturdy and reproducible across applications.
The design maintains strong consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with squarish counters and angled corner cuts acting as a unifying motif. The dense shapes and sharp facets create strong texture in paragraphs, making it feel most natural when used with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
