A heavy, faceted sans with planar, chiseled forms that replace curves with angled segments. Strokes are uniform and substantial, with polygonal counters and frequent diagonal cuts at terminals and joins that create a carved, mechanical rhythm. Proportions run broad and steady, with compact apertures and a slightly irregular, hand-cut feel despite the geometric construction. Uppercase forms read robust and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same angular logic with simplified bowls and notched joins.
Best suited for display settings where strong silhouette and angular personality are desirable: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging titles, and short signage. It can work for short bursts of copy (labels, pull quotes) but is less appropriate for long-form reading because the heavy weight and compact counters create a dark texture.
The tone is forceful and engineered, evoking industrial signage and hard-edged, game-like display lettering. Its sharp facets and compact openings add a gritty, synthetic energy that feels simultaneously retro and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to translate a faceted, cut-from-solid aesthetic into a clean sans framework, prioritizing impact and distinctive geometry over neutrality. The consistent angled terminals suggest a deliberate effort to produce a cohesive, industrial display voice that stays legible while feeling aggressively stylized.
The numerals and capitals share consistent bevel-like cuts, which helps maintain cohesion in headlines. The overall texture becomes dense in longer text due to tight counters and heavy color, making it most effective when given space and used at larger sizes.
